You should have familiarise yourself with the responsibility of a sponsor before signing up under that affidavit. It is too late now. With that said, Medical insurance even state spomsored is not the benefit that would get you in trouble. Please see below.    Affidavit of Support and SPonsor's Responsibilitiess  Public Charge
