- New Jersey is set to charge companies with workers on Medicaid. Other states may follow.
New Jersey is implementing a fee on companies whose workers use Medicaid to help fund the program, with other states like California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington considering similar measures. The policy aims to address rising Medicaid costs due to federal changes and perceived fairness issues, though business groups and some liberal organizations oppose it.
