President Trump issued an executive order to expand IVF access and reduce costs, directing his assistant to create policy proposals within 90 days. The move follows concerns in Alabama about legal liabilities related to frozen embryos affecting IVF availability. IVF often costs between $12,000 and $25,000, with inconsistent insurance coverage across states. Trump promised during his campaign to make IVF free for families. However, critics, including Sen. Patty Murray, labeled the order a PR stunt, emphasizing the lack of bipartisan legislative efforts to enhance IVF accessibility amid ethical debates.
