Will unlimited IVF destroy the insurance/healthcare industry?

[Saint_Ann]

What does each procedure cost? $20k? Success rate? 4 kids? 5 kids? Anybody run the numbers?

What does "unlimited IVF" mean?

Coverage of each procedure ad infinitum. As proposed on my ballot.

Still not sure what it means. Probably provide a link to the ballot language?

You know what IVF is?

Do you know what ballot language is?

Ok, so are you referring to Trump's policy suggestion regarding IVF?

If so, I haven't seen any language suggesting unlimited IVF, which might be why I didn't know what you were talking about.

The insurance agencies would likely lobby for guardrails on such policies.

I'm not comfortable pointing out which state's ballot I use.

If they strip "Tranny Care" out of Obama Care it might turn out to be a financial wash.

I searched for such a ballot measure and returned nothing.

I support insurance providing coverage on all reproductive health procedures, for the most part. Most health procedures as well.

Overall, I support federal health coverage for all.

Why IVF in particular?

Why IVF in particular?

That’s their favorite buzz/trigger word du jour.

Why IVF in particular?

It was on my ballot.

 

[ll74]

It was on my ballot.

Still would appreciate the language to understand what it did. Sounds like insurers being required to provide coverage. I don't think numbers would be high enough to impact much.

Isn't it one of the left's hinge pins?

Health coverage for all.

Yes.

As for the measure ....again....language is everything.. No idea if it would boost turnout or not

So strange.
The right, knowing full well that the US is due to be a minority majority, thus this swing towards holding onto power by whatever means necessary and embracing Tucker Carlson’s replacement theory is also against a form of conception that, by cost, is almost exclusionary to the middle class and poorest among us. Go figure

Illinois voters approve advisory measure expanding coverage for IVF treatments

https://dailynorthwestern.com/2024/...easure-expanding-coverage-for-ivf-treatments/

While Illinois currently requires group insurance plans to cover fertility treatments, the referendum asked voters to consider whether individual health plans should be required to fully cover fertility treatments without co-pay. This would include coverage of IVF costs as many times as it takes to be effective.
