Mandate for Insurance coverage of Infertility Treatments (IVF) in the State of Florida

 We, the undersigned, are requesting the State of Florida to enact an infertility insurance mandate available for corporate as well as small business and individual plans.

  Infertility is a recognized disease and should be covered by any health insurance just like any other none life treatning health condition. Currently, 15 states in the U.S. are required to offer or treat infertility. These mandates were designed to make conception more affordable (and less emotionally draining) to the 1 out of 6 couples that struggle with the problem. Furthermore, in these mandated states, infertility treatments are more successful and less risky for the mother and child. Without the assistance of insurance to pay for treatments ranging from inexpensive medications to IVF, many people will never experience the joy of pregnancy, childbirth, or watching their child grow.
