I'm going to eventually do a lot of research on this bill and keep my eyes and ears out for any new news on it being passed, but for now I just wanted to pass along the info on this new proposed piece of legislation from Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA).
The MOMS (Maximizing Optimal Maternity Services) for the 21st Century bill will seek to address the dismal maternal and infant mortality and morbidity rate in the U.S. in an effort to improve overall maternal and infant care. Seeing as the U.S. is ranked 33rd in the world for maternal and infant health, despite outspending every other country in birth-related health care costs, this bill could not be any more prudent or urgent.
Take a moment to read over the summary of the bill from Congresswoman Roybal-Allard's site and write her, or the Congressional representatives in your area, to show your support for this bill!
I'll post a template letter in the next few days so check back for that!
