Wonderful to now have U of M research prove the cost-effectiveness of doulas for low-income women. It was my legislation (and Sen. Sandy Pappas') in 2007 that gave all mothers the right to have a doula with them in childbirth, set up a certification registry, and pushed toward MA coverage, along with my legislation in 2013 that made that happen. So glad to support healthy outcomes for moms and babies.
