In a recent interview with NBC News, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to have either the government or insurance companies cover the cost of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments if he is re-elected.
Trump emphasized his administration would mandate insurance companies to pay for the expensive procedure, which is currently out of reach for many due to high costs.
This proposal comes as Trump faces criticism from Democrats over his stance on reproductive rights, particularly after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Trump’s plan to support IVF coverage is seen as an effort to address concerns about access to reproductive health services. However, this stance may put him at odds with some anti-abortion advocates who oppose certain aspects of the IVF process.
