States Target Big Corporations Over Medicaid | Las Vegas News

States are cracking down on big corporations with Medicaid-dependent workers, with California poised to revive a law that publicly names companies with over 100 employees enrolled in Medi-Cal, while Nevada already enforces a similar policy. Oregon’s attempt failed, sparking debate as federal work requirements loom. Critics like Walmart and Amazon argue their full-time staff earn too much for Medicaid and that benefits are competitive, urging focus on minimum wage. Meanwhile, New Jersey introduced fines tied to the number of Medicaid employees, while Washington and Colorado’s similar bills stalled. The tension reflects a broader struggle to fund healthcare for low-wage workers as states balance budgets and ensure coverage.
