Rubio Co-Sponsors Bill to Improve Military Maternal Health Care

A new bill seeks to improve maternal health care for expectant mothers. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, (R-FL) introduced the bi-partisan sponsored bill with the Improving Access to Maternal Health for Military and Dependent Moms Act with Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) and U.S. Representatives Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Terri Sewell (D-AL).

According to the bill’s introduction, recent studies have demonstrated low patient satisfaction for obstetric care in military health facilities despite pregnancy and childbirth being the top reasons for inpatient admissions at military treatment facilities.
