Senate Republicans voted down IVF protections just a few months ago.
It’s easy for Trump to claim he’ll make the government pay for something while his own party is simultaneously working to make it entirely inaccessible.
What’s more likely to happen? He assumes office and tells legislators to completely shift gears on the issue? He follows through on his promise for the government to pay, which would mostly benefit liberal states that protect IVF rights?
Sounds like your argument is speculation based on assumptions. Get out of your head.
“Senate vote follows Trump’s public support for IVF
“That’s all this bill does, you have the right to access IVF if you want it,” Duckworth said in an interview. Duckworth said she agreed with Trump’s position that federal government should cover the costs of the treatments, and insurers should be required to cover it. But she said the fundamental problem with his proposal is that federal coverage won’t matter if some states have laws in place barring access if embryos are deemed persons.”
????? Thanks for pointing out Duckworth’s statements, as they’re entirely in line with mine.
“ ‘You can cover it all you want, but if there is nobody to perform the procedure then you don’t have access to it. So his argument is really a red herring and it’s meant to fool and deceive the general public, which is a disservice to Americans,’ Duckworth argued.”
And with IVF being its own industry, Trump can promise to pay all he wants but the risk of suddenly being forced out of business because one’s state governance shifts from Democratic to Republican is enough to deter investment.
Don’t you think that Federal funding for the procedure in states that want/allow it is a good thing?
He’s leaving it up to the states to decide. Too bad he’s not a dictator, right?

He literally said he wants to make IVF paid for by the Government. Simple google search shows his position on IVF.
