One of the executive orders President Trump signed this past week seeks policy recommendations

to expand access to in vitro fertilization. According to a 2024 survey, one in 10 women of

reproductive age say they've received fertility assistance, including IVF. But insurance coverage

for their procedure is limited, and paying

out of pocket is out of reach for many families. Ali Rogan spoke with Barbara Kalura,

who's president and CEO of Resolve, the National Infertility Association, which advocates for people

experiencing challenges building families.

Barbara, thanks for joining us.

I want to play you what then candidate Trump said on the campaign trail about IVF.

Under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment.

So we are paying for that treatment. All Americans who want it?

All Americans that get it.

All Americans that need it.

So we're going to be paying for that treatment.

Or we're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay.

How does this executive order stack up to that campaign pledge?

Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me on.

When candidate Trump said that on the campaign trail about covering IVF, we really didn't have a whole lot of detail

and wasn't really sure what was going to happen. When this executive order came out, the executive

order simply calls for policy recommendations to be provided to the White House within 90 days.

So this executive order doesn't actually fulfill that campaign promise,

but we look at this as a first step.
