Robin Kelly (D-Illinois) wants to help change that.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly has introduced the &#8220;Cares For Moms Act, a proposal to boost federal funding for doulas, provide grants for mobile clinics to cover &#8220;maternity deserts&#8221; in rural areas, and extend postpartum coverage for mothers on Medicaid.<\/p>\n<p>It also increases accountability for the government to make sure federal money goes where it is needed most.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to see reports from [the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services] about where is the grant money going that has been allocated. We want to make sure that it goes to the places that really, really need it. There&#8217;s been reports that sometimes the places that need it most around the United States are not getting the money \u2013 the grant money \u2013 that&#8217;s been allocated,&#8221; Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>Recent studies have found the number of mothers dying of pregnancy-related causes in the United States has more than doubled in the last 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch Kelly&#8217;s full interview with CBS 2&#8217;s Dana Kozlov in the video player above.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n    CBS Chicago Team<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n<p>        <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"cbs-2-logo-a.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/09\/06\/cebfb31c-ae1a-4bde-ba37-4cd8f9598342\/thumbnail\/80x80\/9218368a1b6dc88abb5697650ef25c1d\/cbs-2-logo-a.jpg?v=ab9bbd2a20facf22a21dc5066c583597 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/09\/06\/cebfb31c-ae1a-4bde-ba37-4cd8f9598342\/thumbnail\/160x160\/78a4f0bcbafd8024148a4fcb943cbec1\/cbs-2-logo-a.jpg?v=ab9bbd2a20facf22a21dc5066c583597 2x\"\/><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">The CBS Chicago team is a group of experienced journalists who bring you the content on CBSChicago.com.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"soft-login-gate\" class=\"lazyload soft-login-gate\" data-soft-login-gate-options=\"{\" url=\"\" data-smart-banner-options=\"{\" cookiename=\"\" data-component=\"[\" soft-login-gate=\"\">\n<p>Thanks for reading CBS NEWS. <\/p>\n<p>Create your free account or log in <br \/>for more features.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] U.S. Rep.
