## Resource

New Jersey’s new healthcare law shifts costs to employers with many Medicaid workers, aiming to boost coverage and cut state spending—but experts warn it could backfire by deterring Medicaid sign-ups or forcing companies to restructure, risking a drop of up to 350,000 people losing coverage. Compounding the issue, the state’s finances are strained with shrinking reserves and a structural deficit, prompting calls to close corporate tax loopholes to ensure big businesses pay their fair share and stabilize the state’s future.
