Senate Bill 5068 will improve maternal health outcomes by extending coverage during the postpartum period. Postpartum Medicaid coverage currently ends 60 days after pregnancy. Extending health care coverage through the first year of postpartum is one of the best tools for increasing access to care and improving maternal and infant health. Ask your state senator to vote yes on SB 5068. If your senator is on the Senate Ways and Means committee, send an email to him or her before 4 p.m., Monday, Feb. 15 when the hearing is scheduled.
