IVF Coverage: A Promise Unfulfilled by The White House

The White House currently has no plans to implement insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization, despite President Trump's previous campaign promise to expand access. While an executive order was signed to promote fertility treatments, legal constraints prevent mandating coverage without Congress' approval, with no current bill planned.

The White House is currently not planning to enforce insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization, despite President Donald Trump's campaign promise to make fertility treatments more accessible, as reported by The Washington Post.

An executive order was signed earlier this year by President Trump, which directed efforts to expand IVF access and reduce costs of this vital fertility treatment. However, White House officials have stated that legal barriers prevent enforced insurance coverage without Congressional approval, and no new legislative proposals are currently in motion.

Reuters was unable to verify this report immediately, and the White House has not yet responded to a request for comment from Reuters.
