Grateful that @BrianKempGA is proposing to expand Medicaid for pregnant mothers. I fully support that to help decrease Georgia’s maternal mortality rate. I also hope that we can move beyond piecemeal legislation and fully expand Medicaid. It’s the right thing to do. #gapol
@jasonesteves @BrianKempGA He gets bad press over so many black women dying in or after child birth. But he's just making a political move not moral. 😢😢😢😢
@jasonesteves @BrianKempGA When my wife got pregnant in Georgia when I was a grad student (this was in 2014), they hemmed and hawed due to my living large stipend; she had to threaten the Medicaid office that she was about to go get an abortion if they didn't cover her (and then they did)
@jasonesteves @CourtsBS @BrianKempGA Expand Medicaid for all Georgians.
@jasonesteves @BrianKempGA It would be AWESOME if we could get a program like Katie Beckett for expecting mothers. That would be a pro-life stance.
@jasonesteves @etoileluna77 @BrianKempGA @GaBudget agrees Senator and @CLeahChan is our expert! gbpi.org/money-matters-…
@jasonesteves @BrianKempGA Myself @Cannonfor58 and @AbleMable56 led this effort in 2019-21 and successfully got it done, so no this is nothing new and this isn’t Kemps work. We got 6 months of postpartum expansion and were told mothers couldn’t have 1 year bc most deaths happen in the first 6 months.
@jasonesteves @BrianKempGA Yeah Jason…. I’d walk this statement back while you can. MANY have worked on this. Why are you giving that man the credit??? I lost respect here. Smdh
@jasonesteves @BrianKempGA Kemp signed into law thst hospitals cannot offer medical care to women with ectopic pregnancies. Women are dying on your watch!
