Many couples are starting families in their 40's, The cost of IVF puts a strain on those families. It is extremely difficult for the working & middle class family to afford.
Costs for male related infertility can start around $30,000 for a 2 cycle pkg., plus out of pocket costs. Individual cycles can cost around $21,000 but have a very low success rate. Women who are 39 years or older are not given a partial refund if IVF is unsuccessful. Many lab tests & Rxs are up front costs.
Also, pregnancy can help prevent Uterine Cancer. Those with Pre-Cancer of the Uterus can benefit greatly by having a child. Pregnancy can reverse the pre-cancer cells!
IVF coverage should cover all male & female related treatments.
Everyone deserves to have their own child and carry down their own genes.
