    41% of births and the biggest portion of maternity care are covered under Medicaid. Highest is Louisiana at 64%. Combine this with abortion restrictions and potential loss of access to labor and miscarriage related drugs and you’re looking at lots more dead pregnant people, dead fetuses, and dead infants and far fewer rural hospitals handling any sort of reproductive care.

      Don’t worry, many people in those situations will blame Obamacare when they get the bill (Edit: \s on the don’t worry. Do worry, because this will absolutely happen)
