Summary
User Reviews

AI Summary

The bill aims to designate pregnancy as a qualifying event for special enrollment in health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. This would allow pregnant individuals to enroll in or change their health coverage outside of the regular open enrollment period. The key provision is to ensure that pregnancy triggers a special enrollment period, enabling expectant mothers to access necessary healthcare services promptly. This change could lead to improved maternal and infant health outcomes by facilitating timely and comprehensive prenatal care for pregnant individuals.
