Our new study in @CWF_Journal shows only 18% of OECD countries support #SingleParents by explicitly extending them #PaidLeave @WPolicyCenter https://t.co/ty3JxzeTgE

Several studies have shown that Obamacare provisions have contributed to rising breastfeeding rates in the US. The Trump administration has been working to sabotage and repeal the law. https://t.co/NRs7pGxjQe

@katybkoz @jayohyou @LynnBlewett @abrah042 @publichealthumn @UMNews Yes it does! That’s why we issued our position statement, “Paid Family and Medical Leave” earlier this year. Thanks for your work to help moms and babies @katybkoz https://t.co/S3pvDaQGe2

Under sweeping new recommendations, doctors would see new mothers sooner and more frequently, and insurers would cover the increased visits. https://t.co/GsfSoaWCgF

Gender inequality still persists. #DisappointMeIn4Words

[Judy Jou @jayohyou]

US still one of only 3 countries without #PaidLeave for moms. Policies like #FAMILYAct can help support healthy parents, kids, & families! https://t.co/LBLZvlAgop

A10: The United States is one of few countries in the world that doesn’t provide paid leave for mothers of infants #NewsHourChats

Everyone should receive care regardless of their income or zip code. This is about a right, not a privilege for the few. #MedicareForAll

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

How can the United States stand to be the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care to all people? #MedicareForAll
