Talk With A Midwife

08/17/2020

The State Assembly’s powerful committee on Appropriations has asked the public to provide testimony on SB 1237, a bill that puts denial of midwifery care based on arbitrary risk factors into law.

Please send a brief email to approps.committee@assembly.ca.gov TODAY.

All you need to do is state your name, why you support access to midwives (i.e. you are a midwifery client, advocate, midwife, doula, etc.) and why you oppose SB 1237.
As the committee in charge of making sure that the state budget is managed responsibly, the Appropriations committee is MOST interested in the fiscal impact of legislation. Specifically, they need to know that SB 1237 wastes money and resources mandating that the California State Department of Public Health develop a new, entirely redundant data reporting system that will require nurse-midwife providers to report individual personal information from home birth and birth center families.

Why is this new data collection system a problem for California’s taxpayers and for people who choose community birth with midwives?

It's a problem because this data is already disclosed, processed, analyzed, reported, and, most importantly, is privacy-protected, via the birth certificate process. SB 1237 contains NO privacy protections and requires nurse midwives to disclose highly personal and identifying patient information.

We are also asking midwifery supporters to join the Appropriations committee Hearing tomorrow (8/18/2020) beginning at 10AM to express your opposition to its negative fiscal impact and lack of privacy protections.

Information and access to participating in the hearing is here.

NOTE: If you can show up at a remote testimony station, it may help assure that you get the opportunity to be heard. At the last committee hearing dozens if folks in opposition to SB 1237 were shut out of the democratic process for "technical difficulties."

Now more than ever we need to allocate health care resources strategically and responsibly—we simply can’t afford to waste them on the kinds of inefficient and redundant data collection systems that SB 1237 mandates.

Please send your email today and make a plan to call in to the hearing tomorrow 8/18/2020 beginning at 10AM!
