Your claim That's - not how that works, like at all. You've got companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars who have full time employees on food stamps. How does forcing them to pay a higher minimum wage "make the spread bigger". Here's a hint, it doesn't. You in essence claimed that they are currently paying minimum wage.
I didn't ask about Medicaid eligibility, I asked Where are all these jobs with companies worth billions that only pay minimum wage?
I'll take it that you don't have any examples of billion dollar companies actually paying minimum wage. If they're already paying ~double the minimum wage (that's what the numbers in your link suggest), just how high do you think the minimum wage should be?
Maybe the problem isn't the minimum wage, maybe the problem is inflation???? And having the eligibility guidelines (for govt assistance programs such as medicaid) set too low is part of the inflation problem.
I've said it many times before, people working an hourly wage are the biggest losers when it comes to inflation. Google says ~55-58% of workers in the US work for an hourly wage. They need to get their poop in a group and quit voting for people that offer to give them handouts that will keep them enslaved to inflation forever.
