States Target Big Employers on Medicaid | Reno News

States are publicly naming big companies with employees on Medicaid as federal work requirements loom—forcing millions of non-disabled adults to prove they’re working or in school to keep coverage. California seeks to revive a law targeting firms with over 100 Medicaid-reliant workers, while Nevada already enforces similar rules. Retail giants like Walmart and Amazon push back, arguing most of their employees earn too much for Medicaid and that part-timers are often excluded. Some states, including New Jersey, are even fining businesses. But experts warn these lists reveal a deeper crisis: low-wage workers still lack affordable care, even if they’re employed, and losing coverage forces tough choices between rent and medicine—threatening public health and community stability.
