to release what data they have right now, arguing that Texans can't afford to wait any longer.
"The Texas Legislature has a failed over a number of sessions to address the maternal health crisis in the state," Democracy Forward CEO Skye Perryman told the."It has failed to expand Medicaid, it has not expanded postpartum Medicaid to a sufficient amount and it has failed to address the health of women in a variety of respects.", DSHS officials said they needed more time to align their methodology with that of other states.
The missed deadline comes as Texas' near-total abortion ban and the state's resistance to expanding Medicaid loom as potential election-year liabilities for Republican elected officials, including Gov. Greg Abbott. Democracy Forward's Perryman said the delay is inexcusable because the state report was expected to include recommendations for policymakers to help improve Texas' maternal mortality record. Now, those won't be available until after the end of the next legislative session, which starts in January.
