Summary
New Jersey is implementing a new fee on companies whose employees rely on Medicaid for health coverage instead of employer-provided insurance. Other states are considering similar measures as a way to fund the joint federal-state insurance program for low-income residents, especially amid expected federal policy changes. The policy targets employers who do not offer affordable health insurance, shifting costs from the state to businesses.
