Bill overview
This bill, the Medi-Cal: Fair Share from Big Corporations Act, aims to hold large corporations accountable for the costs associated with their employees’ enrollment in Medi-Cal, California’s state healthcare program. It requires the Department of Finance to present options for charging these corporations a premium to offset taxpayer costs. The bill also directs the Employment Development Department to establish a program to collect this premium, contingent on federal Medicaid provisions remaining unchanged. The legislation responds to concerns about federal cuts to Medicaid and the reliance of corporations on Medi-Cal to provide health insurance to their workforce.
