Assessments
Schakowsky fulfilled the promise in federal office by sponsoring and introducing H.R.950, the IMPACT to Save Moms Act, on February 8, 2021. The bill matched the promised substance by creating a perinatal payment-model demonstration and addressing continuity of Medicaid and CHIP coverage for pregnant and postpartum women. Later reintroductions in 2023 and inclusion of related language in 2026 reinforce continued action, but the core reintroduction promise was already delivered in the same term.
