President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility treatments. The move reflects a key issue he raised during his campaign to improve healthcare affordability for American families.
The executive order signed on Tuesday directs the Domestic Policy Council to investigate potential pathways to make fertility treatments like IVF more affordable for a broader segment of the population. The directive was announced during remarks at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, with White House staff secretary Will Scharf outlining the goals of the initiative.
Trump’s order signals a continued focus on health issues that affect many Americans, particularly those struggling with the high costs of fertility treatments. By calling for a deeper examination of how to reduce costs and improve accessibility, the president seeks to address a growing concern among individuals and families considering reproductive healthcare options.
