U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has introduced the Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act, aimed at mandating health insurance coverage for all childbirth-related expenses. This legislation comes in response to the significant financial burden faced by families, particularly new mothers who often incur high medical debt even with insurance. The bill covers a wide range of services, including prenatal, maternity, and postpartum care. The expected increase in premiums is minimal, estimated at only $30 per enrollee annually, addressing both health equity and cost concerns in maternal healthcare.
The Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act aims to alleviate the financial burden of childbirth by requiring full insurance coverage for all related healthcare costs.
New mothers face a high likelihood of incurring medical debt, demonstrating a need for legislation that covers comprehensive maternity care and related services.
