President Trump signed an executive order to expand access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and reduce costs associated with the treatment. This comes after legal challenges in Alabama heightened concerns over the status of frozen embryos. Advocates highlight that while the order reflects a step forward, it does not provide explicit commitments from government or insurance companies to cover IVF costs. The executive order requires policy recommendations on these issues within 90 days but may need further measures to fulfill Trump's campaign promise for comprehensive coverage.
While on the campaign trail, Trump proposed that the government or insurance companies would cover all IVF costs. The new order does not explicitly mention the government or insurance providers.
What we saw yesterday with the executive order is not a fulfillment of that promise, but we look at it as a first step,” said Barbara Collura, president of Resolve: The National Infertility Association.
