Access to health coverage


  • We advocate for access to health care coverage.
  • One in five women of childbearing age is uninsured.
  • More than 8 million children under age 19 are uninsured.

What is happening with health care reform?

While some provisions take effect this September (see our In-depth article), the new law will not fully go into effect until 2014. In the interim, the March of Dimes is reviewing and commenting on the rules for implementation that are being issued by the Administration.

The March of Dimes will update this site on items that directly affect women of childbearing age, infants and children, but to get even more information about all of the advances, visit http://www.healthcare.gov/.
