Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the duration of Medicaid eligibility for women after pregnancy from 12 months to at least 24 months by amending the Human Resources Code, which increases access to publicly funded health services postpartum. The deletion of references to miscarriage and a specific federal section does not substantively alter personhood or IVF rules, so that tag is neutral.
