Support Delaware's Mothers-- Vote yes on Momnibus Package

In Delaware, Black babies are 2-3 times more likely to die than white babies. The Momnibus Package will support improved health outcomes for Delaware's mothers and babies.

The Momnibus Package is a package of maternal healthcare related bills. These have recently been introduced and could improve health outcomes for Black mothers and babies in Delaware. A summary of what the package would do is included below:

  • Remove TANF work requirements for pregnant persons and parents of children under 6 months

  • Require Medicaid coverage for doula services
  • Require that licensed health care professionals receive explicit and implicit bias training
  • Ensure access to doula/midwife for incarcerated pregnant women and women who have given birth within the past six weeks
  • Making it easier for pregnant patients with Medicaid to get an automated take home blood pressure cuff
Please ask your state legislator to support this package.
