An act relating to Medi-Cal.
AI Summary
This bill expresses the California Legislature's intent to create a new law requiring employers to pay a penalty if their employees are enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state's health care program for low-income individuals, with these penalty payments intended to contribute to a Medi-Cal fund. This proposal is framed within the context of existing federal laws like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which already places certain responsibilities on large employers regarding health coverage for their employees.
