​​Bobbie and The Breasties Advocate For Insurance Equality For Moms Who Cannot Breastfeed Due To Breast Cancer

Retrieved on: 
Monday, October 4, 2021

The petition focuses on closing the current policy gap surrounding insurance coverage for infant formula or donor milk. Right now, new moms in the U.S. can get a free breast pump but no coverage for formula or donor milk. Insurance coverage is tied solely to the health of the baby, not the physical capabilities of a mother to be able breastfeed. Coverage for formula or donor milk is only considered if the baby has a diagnosed medical condition. But in cases where the mom physically cannot breastfeed due to breast cancer or a mastectomy, the medical necessity for formula or donor milk still exists-- yet a policy to support them does not.

Key Points: 
  • Mothers who have undergone a mastectomy - either preventatively or as treatment for breast cancer - deserve insurance equality and inclusion in the policies that support infant feeding in the US.
  • Right now, new moms in the U.S. can get a free breast pump but no coverage for formula or donor milk.
  • Insurance coverage is tied solely to the health of the baby, not the physical capabilities of a mother to be able breastfeed.
