My question is along the same lines. My understanding is that the bill helps parents who lose a child in the first year, but does it also cover stillbirths, children who are stillborn? How far does it go, timeline-wise?
A portion of families experiencing a perinatal loss are covered, but as I said in my opening remarks, many parents who are experiencing real grief, following a miscarriage, which we just talked about, medical termination of a pregnancy or malformation, are not covered. Many, if not most, of the families our organization and many others work with are in that second group, so that concerns me.
