Low income women are less likely to #breastfeed, and low #MediCal reimbursement rates on #breastpumps further push these women to stop breastfeeding early, putting their lives and the lives of their children at risk. @CASenatorJim @GeneralRoth @kevinomccarthy @ChadMayesCA
Access to high quality breast pumps improves breastfeeding rates & can help reduce medical costs related to infant illnesses by $1.6 million per 100,000 women. Increased #MediCal reimbursement rates is good for CA & its people! @HollyJMitchell @JayObernolte @AsmShirleyWeber
Current low #MediCal reimbursement rates on #breastpumps force women to rely on low-quality pumps, endangering child’s and mom's health, and making them more likely to stop breastfeeding early. @HollyJMitchell @SenatorMoorlach @SenToniAtkins @Rendon63rd @AsmPhilTing @tam_tweeets
By updating #MediCal reimbursement rates for breast pumps, CA will invest in the long-term health benefits associated with breastfeeding. Californians deserve a head-start on good health! @HollyJMitchell @CASenatorJim @GeneralRoth @NancySkinnerCA @SenToniAtkins @SenatorMoorlach
