The White House has no current plans to mandate insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to expand access to fertility treatments, The Washington Post reported on Saturday.
President Trump signed an executive order earlier this year directing the government to expand access to IVF and reduce the costs of the popular fertility treatment.
White House officials say expanding IVF access remains a priority, but legal constraints prevent mandating coverage without Congressional approval, and no bill is currently planned, the report added.
Reuters could not immediately verify this report.
The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
