Forbes: Facing Poverty’s Reality

YOU CAN READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

“Changing the story is imperative not only for justice, but also for economic vitality. People living in poverty — and those facing economic insecurity — are major contributors to the economy as workers, consumers and neighbors. When too many remain trapped by outsized housing costs, low wages, and inadequate health care, the entire economy suffers; with a disproportionate negative effect on people of color. Increased inequality leads to weaker demand, higher health and social costs and greater social instability.”

Forbes: Maternal Health

Inside Katherine Gold’s Mission To Improve Maternal Health Through Business Leadership

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

It is important to acknowledge that resources for maternal health are shrinking. 41% of US births are covered by Medicaid and that number rises to 47% in rural communities. With the recent budget bill, the anticipated cuts to Medicaid will result in more hospital closures and even less health access for low-income and rural moms. The maternal healthcare deserts in this country will increase. Now more than ever, we need to use our resources to find solutions and provide every mother and baby with the support they deserve.

GoldBug can’t do it alone. But we are committed to working with others to ensure that every mom has the resources they need to have a healthy baby.
