Extending postpartum--Medicaid postpartum coverage to 1 year is part of our ongoing efforts to break down barriers to accessing care.

When we passed the American Rescue Plan, my legislation was included to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to 1 full year.

Estimates find that as many as 15 million Americans could lose health insurance coverage because of these redeterminations, including 6.8 million who would still be eligible for coverage and incorrectly lose their Medicaid.
