Representative Lesser's HB220, Pregnancy and Postpartum Medicaid Coverage Amendments was ranked at the bottom of the SSA priority list, sadly, due largely to fiscal note issues. We are continuing to raise awareness of Utah's maternal mental health crisis and the coverage gaps during pregnancy and postpartum. We encourage you to reach out to Business and Labor committee members using the button below. You can reference this messaging guide/FAQ, as well as this compilation of example families and the ways HB220 would help them.
