Medicaid Moms Face Systemic Gaps in Care

Published 1 day, 9 hours ago
Description

A new survey reveals shocking gaps in prenatal care, with one in five expectant parents not accessing vital care until the second trimester or later. Medicaid patients face especially tough hurdles—delayed care, feeling dismissed, and higher rates of complications and mental health struggles.

Surviving childbirth isn’t enough—real support is needed for true thriving, especially for those most vulnerable.
