## Resource

States are spotlighting big employers with hundreds of Medicaid-dependent workers, aiming to pressure companies into offering better health coverage. While California and Nevada push for transparency, giants like Walmart and Amazon argue the lists misrepresent their workforce and downplay their existing plans. New Jersey fines large employers, while others like Washington and Colorado saw similar bills fail. Experts warn these work requirements could leave millions uninsured, exposing a critical gap in affordable care for low-wage workers forced to choose between rent and medicine.
