HEALTHCARE POLICY 2
Introduction
Healthcare has always been an essential factor for everyone. It is also considered to be
one of the main concerns of individuals. There are various proposals received by the
government on a regular basis to improve the healthcare legislation or to solve the issues
which are being faced by people. The government has also proposed several acts to solve
these major issues. In this discussion, the main focus is on the key aspects of this legislation
and how it is influencing nursing.
H.R.1551- Quality Care for Moms and Babies Act
H.R. 1551 Maternity care is considered very crucial as it involves lives of two
individuals. Government d United States initiated a bill names as, “Quality Care Moms and
Babies Act” (116th Congress 2019-2020). This act introduced on 6th March 2019 by Congress
Members Eliot Engel (NY-16) and Steve Stivers (OH-15). This act will improve the
condition of maternal care by providing quality services. This act will also improve outcomes
of health related to mothers and new-borns. Government has taken this step because they are
facing major issues in infant mortality. In United States this problem increases with a rapid
growth. While infant mortality all over world decrease at that time also United States were
observing an increasing trend. Many maternal and infant care programs are also organized by
government s that doctors and nurses can also improve their quality of work. Some measures
are also recommended by the government to improve the efficiency and effective implication
of the act (CONGRESS.GOV, 2020). The quality care for moms and child act is
implemented to eradicate the issue of infant mortality. By bringing diverse stakeholders
together funds for this act can be accumulated and to identify care quality benchmarks which
are set by government for moms and babies in Medicaid and CHIP.
