In a move to fulfill a campaign promise, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at making in-vitro fertilization (IVF) more affordable and accessible for Americans. The order comes after years of advocacy from infertility support groups and individuals struggling with the high costs of IVF treatments.
The executive order, signed in a ceremony at the White House, includes provisions to increase insurance coverage for IVF procedures, create grants to support research on new fertility treatments, and improve access to affordable medications for those undergoing IVF.
"This is a historic moment for families across the country who have been burdened by the high costs of infertility treatments," said Health and Human Services Secretary in a statement following the signing of the order.
The move has been met with praise from both lawmakers and advocates, who see it as a positive step towards addressing the growing issue of infertility in the country. "This executive order will help countless families achieve their dream of having children," said a representative from Resolve, an infertility advocacy organization.
With this executive order, President Trump has taken a significant step towards making IVF more accessible and affordable for all Americans.
