Or they would pass the costs on to customers, especially seeing as people would still buy clothes.

Retail demand is a bit inelastic these days, I would guess. You can always raise your prices. But there's no guarantee that your customers will pay it. Charging $2 more for a shirt means people buy fewer shirts. Not that no one buys shirts. If the retail industry shrank by 10%, the economy would tank and it wouldn't matter if Medicaid grew or shrank.
