The Healthy Maternity and Obstetric Medicine Act, known as the Healthy MOM Act, is designed to improve access to maternity care for pregnant women in the United States. Its primary goal is to ensure that all women can enroll in health insurance plans during their pregnancy, which is crucial for enhancing the health of both mothers and their newborns. A significant provision of the act is the establishment of a special enrollment period for pregnant women, allowing them to sign up for health insurance upon confirming their pregnancy, rather than being limited to standard enrollment periods.
