WE MUST EXTEND POSTPARTUM MEDICAID COVERAGE
Come hear one of the leading thinkers and activists in Reproductive Justice speaking on recent legislative battles to advance maternal health care.
While ALL industrialized countries have some form of universal health coverage for all their population 24/7/365, we in the US have to fight to get more than 60 days of Medicaid coverage for one of the most vulnerable populations among us. But fight we must!
Our Board member, Dr. McLemore, will be introduced by another of our Board member, Midwife @asmara.gebre. We’re celebrating Postpartum Justice Day with warriors!
