ACA report shows strong women's health coverage, uneven access to fertility, maternal supports (northcentralpa.com) — State officials in Harrisburg are highlighting a new report on Affordable Care Act health plans that shows strong, consistent coverage for many women’s and maternal health services, but patchy access to fertility treatments and some supports like doula care.
