1/Today, the House of Representatives demonstrated their bipartisan support for new moms & their commitment to preventing tragic maternal deaths by passing the Helping MOMS Act, HR 4996, which allows states to extend postpartum Medicaid or CHIP coverage from 60 days to one year.
2/ We are particularly grateful to Reps. Robin Kelly and Michael Burgess for their tremendous leadership on the Helping MOMS Act, as well as the original cosponsors Reps. Lauren Underwood, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Ayanna Pressley, and Buddy Carter.
