State legislators are again debating whether insurers should fully cover childbirth. Here’s why it’s different this time.
In Massachusetts, childbirth is subject to deductibles, copayments, and other out-of-pocket costs, which can be prohibitively expensive for the growing number of people with high-deductible health insurance plans.
