Yeah, because... That's how laws are written. You don't want to forbid things outright, creating new law or new cases.
A law saying 'no money shall pay for for illegal aliens' could be used to sue the INS for providing (admittedly shitty) medical care or whatever for people they're holding.
Besides, none of our other laws have enforcement provisions for how to deal with people who aren't qualified. Medicaid, Medicare, the Veterans Administration, Federal Housing, etc.
And now they're whining that we shouldn't allow immigrants to buy health insurance, either.
