The proposal is part of a nationwide push for expanded medical care for new mothers that gained ground after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Medicaid coverage for new mothers would be extended to a year after birth under a resurrected bipartisan proposal coming before the state Senate insurance committee for a hearing Wednesday.

About 700 women in the U.S. die from pregnancy or delivery complications each year, and three in five of those deaths are preventable, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Wisconsin, between 25 and 45 women die during or within one year of pregnancy, the state health department said.

Pregnant women with incomes up to three times the federal poverty level - who make $43,740 for a single person and $74,580 for a family of three - qualify for Medicaid, or BadgerCare, in Wisconsin. Once the postpartum coverage period ends, the limit returns to the poverty level, or $14,580 for a single person and $24,860 for a family of three.

'Huge Blow to the Rule of Law,' Donziger Says of Supreme Court Decision on Chevron Case'The three liberal Supreme Court justices decided to let Donziger's absurd contempt conviction stand,' said one observer.

They probably didn’t like it though, pretty sure they didn’t want to have their name on this writ for supporting Biden’s land grab for all eternity, at least the liberals were smart enough in this instance.
