As of right now, there are no federal requirements for infertility coverage. With the Affordable Care Act in place, now is the time to move forward as a country. Many other countries provide infertility care up to IVF and surrogacy, whereas in this country most of the time we have to pay out of pocket-which is often times not possible.
It is time that people stop treating infertility like it's an optional medical condition. It is a serious problem and emotionally and financially damaging to the families it effects. One in eight couples will be diagnosed with infertility in the USA. That is too many Americans having to deal with something incredibly difficult without the support of their government. Healthcare is now the law in our country-make the healthcare providers provide for ALL.
