Classifying pregnancy as a pre-existing condition<b> \u2013 and charging exorbitant rates for maternity benefits\u00a0&#8212; <\/b>would effectively put medical care out of reach for millions of women at a time when they need it most.\u00a0 Many Americans could find that their health plans are specifically written to exclude the care they are most likely to need.\u00a0<b>This is not the solution to our health system&#8217;s challenges that women and families are asking for.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;The American Health Care Act fails to protect too many Americans:\u00a0pregnant women, couples considering starting a family, and infants born preterm or with birth defects, among many others.\u00a0 With House passage of this bill, the responsibility now falls to the Senate to take a more measured, evidence-informed approach.\u00a0Senators should solicit the meaningful input of stakeholders across the entire health care system and use that expertise to develop a plan with targeted solutions to the specific problems identified.\u00a0<b>The March of Dimes looks forward to working with Senators on both sides of the aisle to develop a proposal that will ensure quality, affordable health coverage for all Americans<\/b>.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span>About March of Dimes<br \/><\/span><\/i><\/b><span>The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health.
