this legislation to ensure adult children from military families can keep their TRICARE coverage until they are 26, the same as private insurance plans. This commonsense bill will save hundreds of thousands of American military families thousands of dollars every year.

Goodlander backs a bill that would extend TRICARE dependent coverage to age 26 and reduce health care costs for military families.

Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander is cosponsoring H.R. 247, the Health Care Affordability Act of 2025, described as legislation to permanently lower health care costs for millions of Americans. The release says she has heard from Granite Staters about the harm Medicaid cuts would cause and frames the bill as part of expanding health care coverage and lowering costs.

Goodlander took concrete legislative action on lowering health care costs, with explicit mention of Medicaid harms, but this is not itself a specific maternal-health Medicaid expansion measure.

Goodlander helped introduce the Restoring Essential Healthcare Act, which repeals a federal ban on Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood clinics. The release says Planned Parenthood provides contraceptive care, birth control, breast exams, STI testing, and other reproductive health services.

This is a concrete pro-coverage action affecting Medicaid access to reproductive health services, but it is narrower than a direct maternal-health Medicaid expansion.

Goodlander helped introduce the Protecting Access to Affordable Coverage Act, which would extend the 2026 Open Enrollment period, reinstate auto-reenrollment, create a permanent special enrollment period for low-income individuals, and restore mandatory Navigator funding.

This is a direct action to improve coverage access and lower consumer costs, but it is still an ACA enrollment/cost measure rather than a maternal-health Medicaid expansion.

Goodlander and Pappas helped introduce the CommonGround for Affordable Health Care Act, which includes a two-year extension of premium savings, open enrollment changes, PBM reform, and a required future vote on continued premium savings.

This is another concrete affordability initiative. It supports the lowering-costs part of the claim, but does not show a maternal-health Medicaid coverage expansion.

Goodlander helped introduce the FAMILY Act, aimed at creating a permanent national paid family and medical leave program. The release notes paid medical and family leave is especially helpful for new parents and people with health issues or caregiving obligations.

This is relevant to maternal and family health in a broad sense, but it is not Medicaid coverage expansion and does not directly evidence the claim’s requested policy.

Goodlander voted against a budget resolution that she says would pave the way for the biggest cuts to Medicaid in American history. The statement frames her vote as opposing Medicaid cuts rather than advancing Medicaid expansion.

This shows she actively opposed Medicaid cuts, which is consistent with supporting coverage, but it is not evidence of enacted maternal-health Medicaid expansion or cost reduction.

The release says Goodlander helped lead legislation to protect Medicaid and food assistance and pushed for an immediate vote to reject devastating cuts. It describes her as hearing from Granite Staters about the impact Medicaid cuts would have.

This is a serious legislative effort to defend Medicaid, but it still does not demonstrate delivery of the specific claim about maternal health care expansion and lower costs.

Goodlander helped launch the Lowering Costs Caucus, described as dedicated to tackling the cost crisis. Her remarks reference health care costs and people skipping doctor’s appointments because of cost.

This supports the lowering-costs theme at the level of advocacy and coalition-building, but it is not concrete delivery on maternal health Medicaid coverage.
