Mothers who receive or qualify for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program or have lower income are less likely to start and continue breastfeeding than their more advantaged counterparts. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires employers to provide break time and space to express breast milk and requires insurance companies to cover breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling at no cost to mothers. This ACA benefit does not extend to all Medicaid recipients or women in the WIC program. Legislative and regulatory efforts are needed to provide comprehensive coverage for all women and reduce disparities in breastfeeding.
接受或符合妇女、婴儿和儿童（WIC）项目资格的母亲或收入较低的母亲，比起条件更优越的母亲，开始并持续母乳喂养的可能性更小。《患者保护与平价医疗法案》（ACA）要求雇主提供挤奶的休息时间和空间，并要求保险公司免费为母亲提供母乳喂养支持、用品及咨询服务。这项ACA福利并未惠及所有医疗补助计划的受益人和WIC项目中的女性。需要通过立法和监管努力，为所有女性提供全面保障，并减少母乳喂养方面的差异。
