California Lawmakers Revive Push to Name Companies with Medicaid Employees

California lawmakers are reviving a law to publicly name companies with 100 or more employees enrolled in Medi-Cal, aiming for greater accountability in healthcare costs.
Democratic leaders argue that taxpayers deserve transparency about large employers shifting healthcare costs onto the public, especially as nearly 5 million Medi-Cal recipients face new work requirements starting in January.
Similar legislation is being considered in Oregon, while Nevada has already implemented a measure to disclose companies with employees on Medicaid.
