Trump Promises Free IVF If Elected

At a rally in Pottersville, Michigan, former President Donald Trump announced a bold campaign pledge to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments free for all Americans if he is re-elected. He stated that either the government or insurance companies would be mandated to cover the costs associated with IVF, emphasizing a desire for 'more babies.' The announcement comes amid criticism from Democrats who link Trump to anti-abortion sentiments following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has intensified discourse around reproductive rights. Despite his claims, details on how the coverage would be funded remain unclear, and such a plan would likely face significant legislative hurdles. Additionally, Trump hinted at supporting more flexible abortion policies while criticizing restrictive state measures. The IVF pledge is seen as an attempt to appeal to women voters as he prepares for a competitive election against Vice President Kamala Harris.
