Should I marry my broke friend to get them on my Health Insurance?//what are the concerns? (hexbear.net)

One of my friends is about to be dumped off their parents' health insurance and are in the all-american sweet spot of 'too-poor to afford insurance', 'too-rich for medicaid'. We joked about getting married so they could get on my insurance because my union takes care of me pretty good but I'm worried I don't understand the implications enough to make a good decision.

What does getting married actually mean?

I feel this would somehow eventually end the friendship. Are you two extremely poly? What is your (future) partner or friend's partner going to think when they find out you two are married?

We are and our boyfriends were going to walk us down the aisle for the mock ceremony.
