The fact sheet only states that the aim is generally to lower costs and increase access to IVF. It does not include specific policy recommendations, but says out-of-pocket and health plan costs for the treatment need to be reduced. During the election, Trump declared himself the “father of IVF,” though it was unclear what he meant by that. “The Order recognizes the importance of family formation and that our Nation’s public policy must make it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children,” the fact sheet says.
