Trump Signs Executive Order to ‘Aggressively Reduce’ IVF Costs — After Campaign Pledge to Make It Free
President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday meant to start fulfilling a campaign pledge to make in-vitro fertilization (IVF) free for would-be parents.
“PROMISES MADE. PROMISES KEPT: President Trump just signed an Executive Order to Expand Access to IVF!” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted.
“The Order directs policy recommendations to protect IVF access and aggressively reduce out-of-pocket and health plan costs for such treatments.”
The document requires the Domestic Policy Council, led by Vince Haley, to submit a report within 90 days that contains “a list of policy recommendations on protecting IVF access and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs for IVF treatment.”
“Americans need reliable access to IVF and more affordable treatment options, as the cost per cycle can range from $12,000 to $25,000,” the order says. (Read more from “Trump Signs Executive Order to ‘Aggressively Reduce’ IVF Costs — After Campaign Pledge to Make It Free” HERE)
