Trump says he wants government or insurance to pay for IVF, criticizes Florida abortion ban
CBSN
Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that he supports having the government or insurance companies cover the costs of in vitro fertilization, or IVF, and indicated that he would vote for a ballot measure in Florida aimed at overturning the state's six-week abortion ban.
"Under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump said in an interview with NBC News. "Or we're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay."
Trump soon announced the policy at a rally in Michigan, telling a crowd that "your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment." Health insurance companies are not currently obligated to cover IVF treatments, which can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
