Fertility issues are about to make their way onto the floor of House of Representatives in Washington. This piece of legislation would require insurers to cover fertility treatments. Obviously, this is a pretty big concern in the IF community.
Don’t know when this is going up for a vote, and apparently this has had other forms in both 2005 and 2007, but it’s worth being informed and contacting your Representative to co-sponsor this Act today.
