The Black maternal health crisis is one that not even Olympic track stars can outrun.

During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), Congress and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) made sure people with Medicaid and CHIP received continuous coverage, so that individuals and families could count on having health care during the pandemic.
