Today

Many pregnant people move into Medicaid during pregnancy and lose coverage after 12 months postpartum (where states extended it).

Continuous UHP coverage before, during, and after pregnancy; doulas and midwives covered.

Trade-off

Ends postpartum coverage cliffs; obstetric units in low-volume rural hospitals still need budget protection to stay open.
