If you can’t breastfeed, insurance covers a pump. But not infant formula or donor milk. What the f*#k?
When Bobbie uncovered this policy gap in the Affordable Care Act, and The Breasties saw firsthand how many families were falling through it, we made a promise: fight like hell to change it.
Since 2020, the Bobbie Breasties program has provided medically necessary infant feeding support, education, resources, and community for parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers navigating newborn parenthood. Six years, 615 Bobbie Breasties, and more than $1 million in formula donations later, we’ve turned support into advocacy, co-creating and introducing legislation in Congress. If passed, the Constance C. McDaniel Medically Necessary Infant Formula and Donor Milk Act (Connie’s Bill) would create a pilot program to help cover donor milk and infant formula for families impacted by medical necessity.
Join Michele Lampach, Director of Bobbie for Change, and The Breasties for a conversation about the work we’ve built together, why this fight matters, how Connie’s Bill would work, and what you can do to help move it forward. Come learn, ask questions, and find out how to get involved in creating change.
