Contact your representatives and urge them to support this bill. I wish all who have come before us had their births for free, and they can all support those who come after us.
BREAKING: Rehumanize is part of a bi-partisan, pro-choice AND pro-life, coalition working to pass the Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act (S. 1834 / H.R. 3762). The bill eliminates patient cost-sharing for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. If it passes, giving birth in America becomes free at the point of care.
This is a bipartisan bill with Republican and Democratic cosponsors in both chambers:
-Senate (S. 1834): Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Kaine (D-VA), Hawley (R-MO), Gillibrand (D-NY)
-House (H.R. 3762): Golden (D-ME), Young Kim (R-CA), McClellan (D-VA), Valadao (R-CA)
ACOG considers it a top-priority bill and everyone from pro-life organizations to progressive maternal health groups back it. In a world where common ground is hard to find, this bill is something that we can all get behind.
Here is why it matters:
The average birth in the United States costs $18,865. Privately insured families still pay $3,000 or more out of pocket. 73% of women seeking abortion say finances played a role in their decision (Guttmacher). RAND research found 29% more live births when maternal care is free.
If you're pro-choice and following us, this bill should be on your list too. No woman should end up in an abortion clinic because she cannot afford to have her baby. No family should start parenthood $18,000 in the hole to a hospital. No one should feel like they can’t have a child they want to have because of prohibitive finances.
Contact your reps today and ask them to support the Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act (S. 1834 / H.R. 3762)!
