Everyone deserves access to healthcare.
Mississippi has the opportunity to join 40 other states in accepting federal dollars to expand health coverage to working families, including Black women, who are the backbone of our communities. Expanding Medicaid will uplift everyone in our state: families juggling work and caregiving, pregnant mothers, hardworking parents, employers, medical providers, and entire local economies.
Access to doula and midwifery services is essential for expecting families. These services improve health outcomes for mothers and babies, reduce maternal mortality rates, and provide critical emotional and physical support during pregnancy and childbirth. Expanding licensures and access to trained doulas and certified midwives will ensure that more families can benefit from these vital services. Furthermore, doulas and midwives must receive fair insurance reimbursements to make their care accessible to all families, regardless of income.
