Essentially companies get to privatize the profits and socialize their labor costs by passing on the costs of social services to the taxpayers.

Wal-Mart and the State of Maryland had this battle a number of years ago.
I can’t recall all the details, however IIRC it was centered on wages and healthcare.
The way the lawsuit was playing out it became clear that if Wal-Mart won, the State or Taxpayers would pick up the difference and if they lost, the State would pick up the difference.
