Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed legislation extending postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to 12 months for low-income mothers and infants, making the state the 49th to adopt such an expansion. 这项变化将于2026年7月1日生效,目前还未获得联邦批准,旨在通过确保在关键的分娩后期继续获得护理来改善母亲和婴儿健康,当时近一半的与怀孕有关的死亡发生,95%是可以预防的. The change, effective July 1, 2026, pending federal approval, aims to improve maternal and infant health by ensuring continued access to care during the critical postpartum period, when nearly half of pregnancy-related deaths occur and 95% are preventable. 这项法律是Evers长期以来"健康的母亲,健康的婴儿"倡议的一部分, 通过了两党支持, 并有望减少差距, 特别是黑人母亲之间, 并加强家庭经济稳定. The law, part of Evers’ long-standing “Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies” initiative, passed with bipartisan support and is expected to reduce disparities, especially among Black mothers, and strengthen family economic stability.
