...it prevents wrongful convictions.
At the end of the night, after hearing from Mr. Miles, the committee voted unanimously to refer the #HB744 to the full House with a recommendation that it do pass. /7
Late in the evening Monday, I was honored to testify before the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee in favor of #HB744 by Chairwoman Nicole Collier. I was even more honored /1
The bill, @RepToniRoseTX's #HB744, would've extended Medicaid insurance to cover TX moms for a year after childbirth instead of kicking moms off insurance 2 months after birth. House passed it but Senate never held hearing or vote so it failed. Will be back next #TXlege session.
My first commentary is live on the @Health_Affairs blog! "Moms can’t wait. Let’s use every lever available—including state waiver authority and federal legislation—to make 2020 the year that #postpartum women receive one year of continuous coverage after giving birth."
@RepToniRoseTX @SarahforHD134 @TexasDSHS @TXmommydoc @michaelcburgess @RepDanCrenshaw @DonnaHowardTX @TXHouseWHC @ByNinaMartin @juliaoftoronto In 2019, the TX House passed the big maternal health bill on 87-43 vote but Senate failed to act, so it didn't become law.
#HB744 would've implemented 1st recommendation from the TX maternal mortality task force, 12 months postpartum coverage.

Appreciate maternal health work by:
-@RepToniRoseTX & @SarahforHD134 pushing #HB744 @ #TXlege
-@TexasDSHS studying deaths up to 1 year postpartum
-@TXmommydoc providing leadership
-@michaelcburgess & @RepDanCrenshaw backing Helping MOMS Act
-@DonnaHowardTX leading @TXHouseWHC 3/
We should also note that the #txlege had the opportunity to pass Medicaid expansion for moms when @RepToniRoseTX's #HB744 passed through the house last session but it never even got a hearing in the Senate.
Also - Texas has the 7th highest #maternalmortality rate in the US.
Despite this crisis the 2019 #TXlege passed 0 bills to cut the uninsured rate.
House tried. They passed #HB744 on 87-43 vote to extend mom's insurance to a year after childbirth before leaving them uninsured again. Senate didn't take it up #2020Elections https://t.co/SdNGo5BUlt
@loiskolkhorst @electcharles @DrBuckinghamTX @PeteFlores_TX @NathanForTexas @BorrisLMiles @beverlypowelltx @AKohlerTX @CircleUp_UMW @texmed In the #TXlege session, the House passed #HB744 to extend that coverage for new moms to one year rather than the current 60 days after childbirth.
The bill ran out of time in the Senate & did not become law.
Maybe 2021 session?

@YoungInvincible A6: The amazing folks at @covertexasnow have been trying to expand healthcare coverage especially for kids & mamas! Shout out to @BucyForTexas for his creative attempt at expanding Medicaid. The #TXSenate failed to take up the maternal coverage bill #HB744 😡 #MillennialMon
One maternal health barrier highlighted in our report:
TX has the worst uninsured rate in the US for women of childbearing age
#TXlege passed nothing to fix it
TX House passed #HB744 to take a key step to address this challenge, but the TX Senate didn't take it up
#TCFCevents
"@AKohlerTX says lawmakers also failed to pass a bill that would have expanded Medicaid coverage to women who have babies. In TX, women currently lose Medicaid coverage 2 months after giving birth. #HB744 would have covered them for a full year."
