[ID] 1139 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] I believe the state should consider providing subsidies to employers to provide onsite childcare. Allowing mothers to have easy access to their children would promote ease of breastfeeding by eliminating the cost and inconvenience issues of expressing milk. In addition, the state should pass legislation requiring healthcare providers to provide hospital grade pumps for nursing mothers. Breastfeeding promotes affordable healthcare and should be encouraged and supported by government and all healthcare plans. If healthcare plans are truly interested in reducing overall costs they must start supporting and fully funding preventative healthcare measures such as breastfeeding. Hospital grade pumps could be checked out from the healthcare provider. These pumps would make it easier for working moms to effectively and efficiently express their milk. [Topic]
