Elevating women's voices in health policy during Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month. On today's Health Affairs This
Week, Vabren Watts and Jessica Bylander give thanks and
recognition to the women who have contributed important research
and insights to the Health Affairs community.


For example, Sara Rosenbaum from the George Washington University
School of Public Health and colleagues published a piece on the
Health Affairs Blog this week explaining how the American Rescue
Plan impacts state Medicaid programs. Of note, the law creates a
new state option to increase Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60
days to 12 months.


In addition, Jessica and Vabren discuss the latest on COVID-19
vaccines and how clinical trials are beginning to evaluate the
vaccines in pregnant women.

Listen now to catch up on this week in health policy.
