Medicaid expansion in Florida and its effects on women’s healthNameInstitution Effects of not expanding Medicaid in Florida on Women health.The main aim of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was to provide universal health coverage for its residents and reduce the number of the uninsured. The number of the uninsured at the time was more than 47million people. The number of women who are still uninsured between the ages of 18 and 64 stands at about 19 million women. Maternal mortality rates have increased in the last decade in the US and so have the numbers of low birth weights and preterm births. These women face difficult challenges due to being uninsured like less preventive care for any disease, and they are more likely to get treatment during the advanced stage of the disease instead of in the early stages when the disease could have been managed. They are also less likely to have prenatal care meaning they are more likely to have complications during the pregnancy. They also have less access to contraceptives meaning they are more likely to have unplanned pregnancies leading to higher rates of abortion.In June
