Missouri’s Big Health Win for Moms and Kids | Jefferson City News
Description
A major new law just signed in Missouri is reshaping women’s health care — expanding Medicaid doula visits from six to sixteen, allowing one-year birth control supplies, and mandating coverage for blood pressure monitors to tackle preventable maternal deaths. It also funds free childbirth education, empowers the maternal mortality review board to investigate healthcare deserts and racial disparities, and tackles tick-borne illnesses while boosting school allergy safety. This sweeping legislation signals a bold step toward equitable, comprehensive care for moms, kids, and underserved communities.
