A new approach to funding Medicaid is being implemented in New Jersey, where companies with workers on Medicaid will be charged a fee. This fee is intended for companies whose employees rely on Medicaid for health coverage rather than receiving it from their employers.

Other states are considering similar measures, potentially following New Jersey's lead. The idea has garnered support from Democratic lawmakers and governors, who see it as a means to help fund the joint federal and state insurance program.

Further details on this development can be found through KSAT 12, providing more information on the implications and potential widespread adoption of this policy.
