Michigan lawmakers reintroduce "Momnibus" bills to reduce racial gaps in maternal healthcare.

Michigan lawmakers are reintroducing the "Momnibus" bill package, aiming to tackle racial disparities in maternal healthcare. The bills seek to enhance data reporting, extend civil rights protections to pregnant individuals, and expand Medicaid coverage for pregnancy. Similar efforts last year passed the Senate but stalled due to politics. With Republicans now controlling the House, sponsors, including Sen. Sarah Anthony, are gathering stories and engaging both parties to secure bipartisan support, emphasizing the need for common ground on issues impacting women's healthcare.
