Governor Hochul Signs Law Requiring Insurance Coverage for Donor Milk Despite Industry Objections
Oct 3, 2024, 09:36 AM
Governor Kathy Hochul has signed new legislation aimed at improving maternal and infant health in New York State, declaring her intention for New York to be a leader in this area. The legislation requires insurance companies to cover outpatient use of human donor milk, making it more accessible to families and infants who need it early in life. The bill, co-sponsored by Assemblymember Michaelle Solages and Senator Brad Hoylman, addresses the maternal health crisis and seeks to protect mothers and others who can become pregnant. "I want New York to be a leader in maternal and infant health. This legislation brings us closer to that goal," Governor Hochul said. This move has been met with objections from the insurance industry but is seen as a significant step forward by state leaders, including New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie.
