It’s #FindingsFriday once again, and this week’s insight comes from a journal article co-authored by @rutgersifh @RutgersCSHP Assistant Professor @eleliason with colleagues from @UMNews.

They examine community benefit spending for rural #hospitals: https://t.co/2ZwOxO5NHM

#SoonInAJPH "Children’s Insurance Stability and Coverage Inequities During the COVID-19 Continuous Coverage Provision" COVID-19 continuous coverage provisions improved children’s public coverage continuity, particularly for children who may be most at risk of coverage loss.

States with Medicaid expansion have fewer maternal deaths than states without.

This is according to a 2020 study by postdoctoral researcher @eleliason who says timely care for chronic conditions makes pregnancy & birth safer.🤰🏾 #blackmaternalhealthweek https://t.co/sUUgCkAMXP

We can make birth safer for Black mothers. Here’s how. https://t.co/r0RI2ZROJE

@analisapackham I am! I'll send you an email :)

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
With Medicaid multi-year continuous coverage,
Kids w/o health care will be few.

@LaurawherryR @AcademicPeds Thanks Laura!!

[Erica Eliason @eleliason]

Excited for this publication out in Academic Pediatrics @AcademicPeds, showing disparities in COVID-19 related infant care cancellations & delays by race, ethnicity & insurance, potentially exacerbating existing inequities in infant health & care access

New publication out with @hmacd23 & Jasmine Agostino examining job, housing, financial, and food perinatal hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We find disparate pandemic effects with higher rates among Black, uninsured, and Medicaid-insured respondents https://t.co/9XiQPAwOb1

I tear up every time another state implements the option to extend #Medicaid from 60 days to one year #postpartum. This policy will help people maintain their health in the critical one year period following pregnancy. #MedicaidMatters

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Infant deaths in the U.S. rose for the first time in 20 years, according to provisional figures released Wednesday by the National Center for Health Statistics. https://t.co/Q6hcyKY6ek

States with the darkest red have seen greatest declines in child Medicaid enrollment.

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

The Biden Administration announced that 30 states were conducting Medicaid renewals incorrectly, and that nearly 500,000 people will have coverage restored, many of them kids.

It's not often that a government enforcement action has such sweeping effects.

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, Gray Babbs @Em_Balkan @JaeDowning + @djmeyers2 of @Brown_SPH + @folxhealth discuss how the House passed two bills + released a 3rd impacting gender-affirming care coverage for Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, the IHS and the VA. https://t.co/6pum2TLSCT

[Larry Levitt @larry_levitt]

This is wonky but important: The Biden Administration is calling on states to fix a glitch in some of their Medicaid renewal systems that is resulting in kids being wrongly dropped from coverage.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

In 2021, I called on states to expand Medicaid postpartum coverage to 12 months.

Today, 36 states have answered the call — and I look forward to all 50 achieving this critical goal as we improve maternal health across America.
