Trump campaign supports universal access to IVF, potentially benefiting same-sex couples

The Trump campaign has stated that if re-elected, Trump would support “universal access” to in-vitro fertilization (IVF), potentially including coverage for same-sex couples. Democrats, on the other hand, are accused of supporting abortion up until birth and forcing taxpayers to fund it. Trump’s promise to cover the cost of IVF for all Americans has raised questions, with some critics pointing out that his policies could effectively ban IVF. Trump’s vice presidential pick, JD Vance, voted against legislation to protect IVF, further complicating the issue. Additionally, Trump has made promises regarding LGBTQ issues, including ending discrimination protections for LGBTQ people and rolling back protections for transgender students. Currently, only a few states require IVF benefits to include same-sex couples, and few insurance companies cover the high costs of fertility treatments like IVF, which can reach $20,000 per cycle. A gay couple has recently filed a lawsuit against New York City for not covering IVF for male couples under its health insurance plan. Overall, Trump’s IVF policy proposal has sparked controversy and raised questions about LGBTQ rights and healthcare access under his administration.
