Current laws and policies restrict access to fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) for many individuals and families across the country. Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples, making this a widespread issue that demands attention. The Right to IVF Act aims to address this by establishing statutory rights for individuals, healthcare providers, insurers, and manufacturers to provide, receive, cover, and market fertility treatments in accordance with accepted medical standards, without undue limitations. It also mandates coverage for fertility treatments under various health plans and programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, and the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. This comprehensive approach recognizes infertility as a medical condition deserving of affordable treatment options. By supporting this bill, you can help ensure equitable access to the family-building options that many aspire to but cannot afford or access due to existing barriers. Protecting the right to fertility care aligns with values of compassion and healthcare equity.
