Trump Proposes Federal Coverage for IVF Treatments

The plan aims to make in-vitro fertilization more accessible but raises ethical and financial concerns.

IVF treatments involve complex and costly procedures with variable success rates.
Some states already mandate insurance coverage for IVF, but federal coverage would be unprecedented.
Ethical issues include the handling of surplus embryos and the potential for genetic selection.
Critics argue that federal funding could lead to higher premiums or increased taxpayer burden.
Supporters believe the plan could help address declining birth rates and aid couples facing infertility.
