Name and discuss four prevention essential health benefits for women that must be covered
under the Affordable Care Act.
The act provides breastfeeding support and counseling services and guidance from
trained providers, and an access right to breastfeeding supplies for pregnant and nursing women
to prevent developing complications related to breastfeeding (Pain, 2021). These services are for
both pregnant women and women who are planning to become pregnant, and they include
breastfeeding support and counseling from trained providers, birth control services, sexually
transmitted infections screening services, and folic acid supplements for the women who are
planning to be pregnant and those who are pregnant. Breast milk is healthy for the baby, and
breastfeeding is also beneficial for the woman. The bond between the child and the mother is
