50: How Medicaid Can Address Maternal Health Challenges in Texas

New mothers in Texas face a host of healthcare challenges after birth, and some of them may require more support than a regular check-up. Non-medical drivers of health, such as transportation and nutrition, significantly influence health outcomes but may not be directly addressed by the healthcare system. With nearly half of Texas births covered by Medicaid, legislators and healthcare agencies are increasingly interested in how to target state programs to address these needs.
In the latest episode of “Baker Briefing,” guest host Heidi Russell, director for the Center of Health Policy at the Baker Institute of Public Policy, speaks with health policy fellows Elena M. Marks and Charles W. Mathias about a new report from the Texas Consortium for the Non-Medical Drivers of Health examining how the state can finance, grow, and assess successes for programs aimed at postnatal care.
