During a speech at a steel plant in Potterville, Michigan, former President Donald Trump made waves with a bold new policy proposal on in vitro fertilization (IVF). This announcement underscores his commitment to supporting American families by making IVF treatments more accessible and affordable, a move he believes is long overdue, as reported by the Gateway Pundit.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that allows individuals or couples struggling with fertility to conceive. It involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body, and once an embryo is formed, it’s implanted in the woman’s uterus.

However, the process comes with a hefty price tag, with an average IVF cycle in the United States costing between $12,000 and $17,000, according to WebMD. These high costs have made it challenging for many families to pursue this option, leaving them with few alternatives.

Trump’s plan seeks to alleviate this financial burden. “I’m announcing today, under the Trump administration, your government will pay for, or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment, fertilization for women,” Trump declared to a cheering crowd.

He stressed the importance of increasing the birth rate in America, saying, “We want more babies, to put it very nicely.” As part of his pro-family agenda, Trump also proposed a tax deduction for major newborn expenses, which he believes will further ease the financial strain on new parents.

Trump’s support for IVF has been consistent over the years. Stating that he has backed IVF from the start, he acknowledges the financial burden these treatments impose on families trying to conceive. Under his proposed policy, he promises that either the government or insurance companies will shoulder the costs, ensuring IVF becomes a viable option for all Americans who require it.

When asked about the political controversies surrounding IVF, Trump didn’t hesitate to address the issue. “From day one, I’ve supported IVF because it helps women, men, and families—especially those facing challenges in having children,” he stated. He emphasized the need for strong, growing families in America, saying, “We need great, beautiful children in our country, and we actually need them.”

Ultimately, Trump’s IVF policy is a key component of his broader effort to strengthen American families. By guaranteeing full coverage for these treatments, Trump positions himself as a steadfast advocate for those looking to start or expand their families but are hindered by financial constraints. His plan clearly demonstrates that, under his leadership, family values and parental support will be prioritized.
