Pregnancy should be an exciting time in a women’s life but can be made stressful with the added difficulties of medical insurance. The Affordable Healthcare Act implemented in 2010 aims to lesson these stresses. Maternal problems and birth complications are significantly more common in women without health insurance, preventing them from being able to receive proper prenatal care.

One of the biggest goals of the Affordable Healthcare Act is to reduce the cost, and increase accessibility of insurance. One of the aims implemented in 2010 allows for preventive care without copays. Improving access to preventive cares will help reduce disease and consequently also reduce costs for further treatment.

Another highlighted aspect of benefits of pregnant women in the Affordable Healthcare Act is in preventive measures. Insured women are also more likely to use contraceptives than uninsured women. As of 2014, contraceptives will be made available without copays, and tests will be made available for HIV and HPV screening (Boone 2013). Allowing tests for the mother to detect diseases before pregnancy will enable prevention of unwanted pregnancies and transmission of these
