Abstract:
Birth Cost Recovery, also known as the ‘Birth Tax’ is a Wisconsin policy which holds unmarried, non-custodial fathers liable for Medicaid/BadgerCare childbirth costs. In this presentation, Dr. Green will discuss what we know thus far about the impacts of the Birth Tax through the lens of an ongoing community-engaged, mixed-methods project that centers the voices of low-income Black parents who likely experience this policy in complex and unique ways.

Dr. Tiffany Green is Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Population Health Sciences and the Gloria E. Sarto, MD, PhD, Chair in Women’s Health and Health Equity Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she directs the Reproductive Equity Action Lab (REAL).
