Watch out - that may be what they use to make a more Canadian/UK model. In other words, they pass a law to provide health care, but court challenges "force" the federal government to "do better".

This is what happened in NH when a few poor towns challenged how schools are funded in this state. All of a sudden, we had a new property tax that was to be distributed according to a formula for funding schools. The state Constitution said NH was responsible for providing "reasonable funding" - the "Claremont decision" became notorious here for expanding the state's role in what had been an exclusively local process.
