A new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) commissioned by my Protecting Moms Who Served Act reveals a deeply concerning trend: The rate of severe pregnancy complications among veterans has nearly doubled over the past nine years. These mothers and veterans, who bravely served our country, are facing a critical health crisis, and we can't wait any longer to help them.
I’ve just officially called on Congress to pass my Momnibus Act. Our mothers and veterans deserve better and lives are at stake. I need everyone on this team to stand with me at this moment. Please add your name to my petition to help me get this critical point across to my colleagues. The more voices we raise, the stronger our message becomes >>>
My Momnibus Act has evidence-based solutions that directly address the issues revealed in the GAO report. These solutions will improve data collection and oversight of mental health screenings for veterans during pregnancy and to monitor severe maternal morbidity. The goal is to tackle the racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes.
The first bill from the Momnibus package was signed into law, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act, is already making a difference. But this crisis demands more action. That’s why I am asking for support to amplify my call for the passage of the entire Momnibus Act — my comprehensive and bold package of legislation tackles the maternal health crisis head-on.
Investing in the social determinants of health, community-based organizations and critical services vital to expectant mothers, and a diverse post-childbirth workforce are integral components of the comprehensive Momnibus solution. Your support is crucial to making this vision a reality.
Momentum is building for this crucial legislation, and moms can’t wait. We need as many voices as possible to make a meaningful impact.
Every signature on this petition sends a powerful message to Congress demanding action. Join me in my urgent call for the immediate passage of the entire Momnibus Act, so we can provide our veterans and all mothers the critical support they desperately need. Add your name >>>
Thank you for your immediate attention to help ensure our veterans and all mothers get the help they need and deserve.
Sincerely,
Lauren
