Trump plans could lower IVF costs for some — but fall short of his campaign promise

President Trump announced two initiatives aimed at lowering fertility treatment costs, though they fall short of his campaign promise for free IVF access nationwide. The plan allows employers to offer standalone insurance for infertility treatments with flexible coverage requirements and includes discounts on IVF medications from drugmaker EMD Serono. Critics note that employers already could offer fertility benefits, and the new insurance option lacks clear regulations on what must be covered or who qualifies.
