"Starting this month, pregnant Iowans on Medicaid have 12 months of coverage after giving birth, a significant increase from the previous cutoff of 60 days.
Iowa lawmakers approved the change in the last legislative session, making the state one of the last to approve the extension after the federal government started offering permanent matching funds in 2021 to states that extended coverage to 12 months."

In response to this post@bicmay oh my, you need to give birth to get 12 months of health coverage? In Spain you get free healthcare (free as paid by the state, which means taxpayers) once you have permanent residence address. Your family or working status doesn't matter. Every resident deserves a public healthcare.
