Abstract

The article discusses an increase in maternal mortality in the U.S. as quantified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), identifies it as a public health crisis, and presents various possible solutions to the crisis. Such possible solutions included an expansion of the Medicaid coverage to eligible women, best practices for guidelines for women in danger of maternal mortality, and what is identified as fourth trimester treatment.
