Stаte F lоcаted in the sоuthern hаlf оf the United States experienced a strong influx of retirees, due in part to its mild winters and in part to the generous health benefits that State F historically provided to its elderly residents who fell below the federal poverty line. State F’s Office of Budget Management determined that the influx of retirees would bankrupt State F’s health care benefit fund within five years. To preserve the fund and ensure the health of its citizens, State F revised its health care statute to make persons ineligible for coverage until they have lived in State F for at least one year.If a retiree, who was denied benefits because she just moved to State F, challenges the constitutionality of the statute in federal court, is she likely to prevail?
