Health insurance; coverage for donor human milk, penalties.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would require licenses for donor milk banks and make health insurers cover donor milk for babies under six months old.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If this bill passes, it could help babies get important nutrition from donor milk. But it also means stricter rules for milk banks, which could affect availability.
