STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30205 / H0122
Over a third of women in Idaho do not have health insurance prior to pregnancy and do not have access to health
coverage beyond 60 days postpartum. Infants and toddlers are behind in well child visits and developmental
screenings. Idaho’s rate of uninsured children is also on the rise. This legislation will improve health access
for pregnant/postpartum women and infants and ensure 12 months postpartum health coverage for women.
