A bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced legislation to expand access to in vitro fertilization in an effort to enact one of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises into law.
“What I’m even more committed to is making sure this is something that can get to the president’s desk,” Rep. Zach Nunn of Iowa, the lead Republican pushing the bill, told NOTUS in an interview in his office.
Nunn, along with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida, reintroduced the HOPE With Fertility Services Act on Thursday. The bill would require some private health insurers to cover fertility treatments, which goes further than Trump’s October executive order to encourage employers to offer IVF insurance coverage.
