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.

Our conversation offers insights and practical advice for individuals, organizations, and policymakers committed to making retirement security a reality for all Americans.
“In the end, the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a misnomer. Its legacy is instead set to be the creation of a larger deficit, greater inequality, and higher long-term costs for American society. If the goal is a more efficient and effective government, the real path forward lies in preserving—and strengthening—investments in health, nutrition, and opportunities for all Americans, not just the fortunate few.”
