Yes! @Christian4Texas and @LaceyHullTx passed #HB1201 to improve access to doulas! Great step to support healthy moms and babies! #TXlege

Here we go! After a change in schedule, the Texas Legislature is voting on HB 1201 today. This bill will improve access to doulas — a fantastic way to support healthy moms and babies! #txlege

Many thanks to Senator Alvarado for carrying the lactation bill in the senate , and Senator Kolkhorst for a wonderful hearing this morning. @CarolforTexas @LoisKolkhorst #HB136

The Texas Legislature is voting on HB 1201 today! This is a great step forward to improve access to doulas and support healthy moms and babies! #txlege

THANK YOU @RepTonyGonzales & @RepMonicaDLC for speaking against proposed Medicaid cuts in Congress! Medicaid provides critical health insurance to low-income kids, seniors, people with disabilities & pregnant women. Pres. Trump said it won't be touched! abc27.com/news/gop-hispa…

When Texans are eligible for Medicaid or SNAP, they should be able to sign up without running into delays and glitches in the technology. We're proud to sign this letter urging the Texas Legislature to fix the state's outdated enrollment system. #txlege bit.ly/4iUM8nB

Congressional leaders are considering Medicaid cuts that could be a disaster for our health care. But they will have a razor thin majority in the House — so we can stop them if we raise our voices and stick together!

@LauraAK_TX Congratulations!!! 🎊

A bit of personal news (as they say): On Monday, I will be joining the amazing State Govt Affairs team at TxDOT. I could not be more excited to work w/ such a vital state agency & to continue working with #txlege. Painting will continue, but will obviously be more limited!

The number of states pursuing doula access via Medicaid has doubled from 2022-2024!

There's still time to apply for these jobs! #TXlege #Nonprofitjobs @ATXjobs

My heart is leaping for Texas’ moms! #txlege #HB12

It's the ACA's 14th anniversary! Let's celebrate our progress reducing the uninsured rate, protecting folks with pre-existing conditions, & more. And let's finish the job by passing Medicaid expansion for Texas & other holdout states! #ACA14 #txlege bit.ly/3ZgKl1o

Of 852,000 Texas kids with no health insurance, about 400,000 are eligible for coverage thru Medicaid or CHIP. The Legislature should ensure that parents of currently eligible kids are able to sign them up for health coverage. Our blog post: bit.ly/3HK33Yo #TXlege

The uninsured rate for kids in Houston — and in other Texas communities from Abilene to Longview to McAllen — is DOUBLE the national average. Children's health coverage must be a priority for the next legislative session! bit.ly/3SG8qy9

Kudos to @RepToniRoseTX, @LoisKolkhorst, and HHSC staff for taking this big step to support postpartum health care for Texas moms! #txlege texastribune.org/2024/01/17/tex…

Great news! There's been a big increase in people signing up for ACA health plans in Texas and across the US since Congress invested in outreach and bigger subsidies for consumers - including my family. Tuesday is the last day to sign up for a 2024 plan! bit.ly/48rfOTq

My two favorite things: birth equity and health measurement. BEAM is a cool new initiative to develop health measures to assess maternal and child health outcomes and disparities. #ncqa ncqa.org/blog/what-beam…

Exciting news: @CMSgov introduces an innovative care model to enhance maternal health outcomes, expanding access to crucial services. This is a pivotal step towards better maternal care: cms.gov/newsroom/press…… #MaternalHealth #Healthcare
