“No mother should ever go into childbirth fearful that the cost of bringing in a life will be the loss of her own”- @NOLAobgyn via @NYTOpinion @everymomcounts #givingbirthinamerica nytimes.com/2023/07/16/opini…
“…six [states] — including AR, which has had one of the nation’s highest maternal mortality rates — have no plans to extend Medicaid coverage…”

It's clear: Higher #MaternityCare spending doesn't equal better #MaternalHealth outcomes.
Instead, we must address the factors driving maternal mortality + invest in the supports moms need to thrive.
Urge your reps to pass the historic #Momnibus today:

There has never been comprehensive federal action to solve the U.S. #MaternalHealth crisis — until the #Momnibus.
We’re proud to support this leg. led by @RepUnderwood, @RepAdams + @SenBooker to save moms’ lives.
Urge Congress to pass the #Momnibus now:
