The Healthy MOM Act, also known as Bill 118 s 3509, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to improve access to maternal health care services for pregnant women and new mothers.One of the key provisions of the Healthy MOM Act is to expand Medicaid coverage for pregnant women.
