Thank you @RepJoeMorelle for taking the time to talk about issues impacting OBGYN’s and their patients as Congress moves forward with addressing #COVID19. Thanks for helping ACOG with #DeliveringTheFacts to Congress & offering solutions that work for women and their physicians.
#COVID19 Health Research-Please take this short survey about social distancing in the time of COVID-19. It will be helpful to my daughter Hannah in Public Health @AmericanU. Please share it as well. @ACOGAction @ACOGD2 https://t.co/olaUhHSASz
The inadequate testing protocols increase risk of spreading #coronavirus. To test healthcare workers only if sick, even if they have been exposed, Is inadequate since they are spreading #Covid_19 infection before they show symptoms. #FlattenTheCurve@ACOGAction@CDCgov
So great to meet with our fabulous congressman @RepJoeMorelle about our ACOG asks that will reduce maternal mortality, improve access to care, and increase research for women’s health @ACOGAction#CLC2020#NoSpinJustScience
The Honorable @RepBrianFitz cheering us on as we get ready to visit our Senators and Reps on reducing maternal mortality, extending Medicaid coverage one year postpartum, supporting access to OB care, and more research on women’s health Issues @ACOGAction #CLC2020
@RepTorresSmall sharing her origin/birth story and reminding us that women’s health care is not a red or blue issue but one that impacts us all, and why she supports our asks. @ACOGAction

Proud ACOG District 2 winners of the Capitol Cup for most dollars raised for the PAC at 2019 Annual District meetings of any district! @ACOGAction @ACOGD2 #CLC2020
The Honorable @RepKimSchrier - the only female physician and pediatrician in Congress - lending her support to ACOG’s goal of extending Medicaid coverage to one year post-partum before we hit the hill tomorrow. Go ACOG!@ACOGAction #CLC2020#NoSpinJustScience
Inspiring words from The Honorable Tammy @SenDuckworth “We cannot accept a status quo that does not accept half of us...I believe in a future where women’s access to care is treated as it should be, as a human right.”@ACOGAction #CLC2020#NoSpinJustScience
Hearing from @LaurelRiceMD and others about @NIH underfunding women’s health research and its implications. Will #COVID2019 treatments/vaccines be tested and available for pregnant and breastfeeding women? Not without proper research. @ACOGAction #CLC2020

@raebo13 on why @acog#CLC2020's #1 Ask is to expand #Medicaid to 12mos postpartum (PP):
- 1 in 3 women have coverage disruptions before/during/after pregnancy
- 33% of deaths occur 7-365 days PP (+uncounted overdose & suicide deaths)
