Maternal Health Pandemic Response Act

This bill focuses on protecting the health of pregnant and new mothers during public health emergencies like pandemics. It supports programs to collect data on maternal health, including information broken down by race, ethnicity, insurance, and location, and requires that this data be shared with the public. The bill also requires the CDC to create a program to educate pregnant people, their employers, and doctors about health risks during emergencies. Finally, it sets up a task force to come up with recommendations for providing care to mothers during emergencies, with a special focus on communities of color and people in rural areas.
