Senate to Revisit IVF Bill as Trump Proposal Stirs Debate
Senate Republicans face renewed pressure after former President Trump pledges free IVF treatments if re-elected.
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has scheduled a vote on the Right to IVF Act, which previously failed in June.
- Former President Donald Trump has proposed making IVF treatments free, funded by either the government or insurance companies.
- Trump’s proposal has not swayed Senate Republicans, who cite concerns over increased insurance costs and political motivations.
- House Republicans are also divided, with some pushing for a vote on pro-IVF legislation before the upcoming election.
- The Right to IVF Act aims to ensure nationwide access to IVF, protect IVF providers, and safeguard access for military members and veterans.
