These are a few of the models that are mandated:

Subtitle L -- Maternal and Child Health Services

Sec. 2951. Maternal, infant, and early childhood home-visiting programs. Provides funding to states, tribes, and territories to develop and implement one or more evidence-based maternal, infant, and early childhood visitation model(s). Model options would be targeted at reducing infant and maternal mortality and its related causes by producing improvements in prenatal, maternal, and newborn health, child health and development, parenting skills, school readiness, juvenile delinquency, and family economic self-sufficiency.

Sec. 2952. Support, education, and research for postpartum depression. Provides support services to women suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis and also helps educate mothers and their families about these conditions. Provides support for research into the causes, diagnoses, and treatments for postpartum depression and psychosis.

Sec. 2953. Personal responsibility education. Provides $75 million per year through FY2014 for Personal Responsibility Education grants to states for programs to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for prevention of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. Funding is also available for 1) innovative teen pregnancy-prevention strategies and services to high-risk, vulnerable, and culturally under-represented populations, 2) allotments to Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and 3) research and evaluation, training, and technical assistance.

In California the grants are in the bank. The horrific job of setting up the clinics, setting up the protocols and staffing the clinics has just begun. One huge building full of clinics has just been opened a half mile from me on Avenue I. It is already filled to capacity. Even with the money, the challenges and the work to maintain the health revolution called Obamacare has just begun!
