Pregnant women and new moms have better access to treatment for mood disorders, thanks to Obamacare, a new study finds.
Unfortunately, about 25% of pregnant women and new mothers suffered from a mood disorder in 2019, researchers noted.“The gap between mental and physical health care closed slightly over time, and cost barriers decreased marginally,” Zivin said in a university news release.
The research team examined data from more than 716,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44 who gave birth between 2007 and 2019 in the United States, for a total of more than 837,000 births. All were covered by a private health insurance plan at least a year before and after they gave birth. However, researchers noted that the new study doesn't include women covered by Medicaid, who account for 42% of births in the United States. It also doesn't include women who didn't use insurance to pay for their therapy.
