Patterns of Health Insurance Coverage Around the Time of Pregnancy Among Women with Live-Born Infants — Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), 29 States, 2009
This report summarizes 2009 PRAMS data from 29 states, presenting information on the prevalence of health insurance coverage stability the month before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and at the time of delivery.
