Chaudhry A, Collins S, Northrup A. 2021. Coffee chat with AMCHP policy experts: Opportunities for maternal health with a new administration and congress. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 49 m 57 s.

Annotation: In this informal Q&A coffee chat format, AMCHP policy experts discuss key developments in national health policy following the administrative transition, with particular focus on potential changes to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. A significant portion of the discussion centers on efforts to extend postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to one year through the American Rescue Plan's state option, which would require state plan amendments for implementation. The experts also address critical issues of racial inequities in maternal and child healthcare delivery and examine the implications of the Anti-Racism in Public Health Act, offering insights into the future landscape of maternal health policy from 2021 onward.
