White House to seek to make IVF more accessible, NY Times reports

President Trump is expected to announce a proposal on Thursday aimed at expanding access to in vitro fertilization, marking the administration’s first formal action on the issue, The New York Times’ Caroline Kitchener and Tyler Pager report. The plan will outline an employer benefit option encouraging companies to offer IVF and infertility coverage alongside standard benefits like vision or dental, though participation will be voluntary and no federal subsidies are planned. Shares of Progyny (PGNY), which provides comprehensive coverage for preconception, fertility, adoption and surrogacy, are up nearly 7% to $21.67 in afternoon trading.
