Trump Signs Executive Order to Expand IVF Access and Reduce Costs
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday aimed at expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility treatments by reducing out-of-pocket costs for Americans. The order directs the Domestic Policy Council to develop policy recommendations to protect IVF access and aggressively lower the financial burden of such treatments. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the move on social media, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to making IVF more affordable.
IVF treatments, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per round, have become increasingly unattainable for many families. Trump’s executive order seeks to address this issue, fulfilling a campaign promise he made to mandate free IVF treatment for women. During a campaign event in August, Trump stated, “Your government will pay for — or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for — all costs associated with IVF treatment.”
The announcement comes amid ongoing debates over reproductive rights following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Trump has sought to position himself as a moderate on reproductive issues, declaring himself “very strong on women’s reproductive rights.” The executive order is part of a broader effort to support families and increase access to fertility treatments, which are often critical for individuals struggling with infertility.
While the order lacks specific details on implementation, it marks a significant step toward making IVF more accessible for Americans. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) praised the move, calling IVF “profoundly pro-family” and expressing gratitude for Trump’s commitment to helping families grow.
This development highlights the administration’s focus on addressing the financial barriers to fertility treatments, offering hope to many aspiring parents across the country.
