Op-Ed: Instead of making IVF free, Trump should set patients free from government’s failed healthcare model.

September 6, 2024

Former President Donald Trump is calling for the government or insurance companies to pay for in vitro fertilization treatments, making them free.

Perhaps this stance is a political move intended to thwart accusations of pro-life extremism and win over moderate female voters. But it’s still a bad policy proposal — one that will empower insurance companies and ultimately make it harder for conservatives to articulate a better vision for healthcare. Trump should pivot and focus on taking down the administrative leviathan that is our insurance-centric healthcare system. This would appeal to many women, as both patients and caregivers.
