Congress Must Pass The Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act!

More than 6 million Americans have received the diagnosis of infertility. While there are treatments to help with difficulty conceiving a child, the chances of getting that treatment covered by insurance are often unlikely. Without insurance coverage, fertility care in the U.S. is extremely expensive. But your chances of conceiving a child simply should not be limited by your income level!  Luckily, a bill aiming to address this was introduced to the House and the Senate in 2021: The Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act. But so far, we're still waiting on a vote.

The most effective reproductive treatments, including IVF, can range from $10,000-$18,000, per cycle. The Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act will ensure insurance coverage of infertility services to people who get their healthcare through government-sponsored health plans. The bill also will provide fertility preservation services for people who are at a higher risk of infertility from medical treatments, such as chemotherapy and surgery. This would be life changing legislation for millions of people who want to have children but have been blocked by physical and economic barriers! 

1 in 8 couples will face infertility. Nearly half of all people who need fertility treatment do not have insurance coverage for services, according to a 2012 survey. Overwhelmingly, global and national health organizations like the World Health Organization agree -- infertility is a medical disease. Yet, people who want to become pregnant but cannot are faced with soaring out-of-pocket costs of medical treatment. People should not have to spend their life savings for the chance to have a child.
