House Democrats seek to pressure GOP with legislation expanding access to IVF

Published September 17, 2024 10:48am ET



House Democrats are looking to call out Republicans by pushing for a vote on a set of bills guaranteeing access to in vitro fertilization services and expanding insurance coverage for IVF and other fertility services. 

The legislation will be introduced on Tuesday afternoon and contains four bills introduced by Reps. Susan Wild (D-PA), Gerry Connolly (D-VA), Rick Larsen (D-WA), and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT). The pressure comes as Democrats look to squeeze Republicans who have opposed IVF access but now must contend with campaign promises from former President Donald Trump to require private insurance companies to cover the fertilization procedure.
