The president unveiled several policy proposals on Thursday aimed at reducing the costs of in vitro fertilization. They included a deal with a pharmaceutical company to lower drug costs, and guidance encouraging employers to offer infertility coverage directly to workers.

We’re here today to announce a historic victory for American women, mothers and families. With the actions I will outline this afternoon, we’ll dramatically slash the cost of I.V.F. and the treatment and many of the most common fertility drugs for countless millions of Americans. After extensive negotiations, EMD Serono, the largest fertility drug manufacturer in the world, has agreed to provide massive discounts to all fertility drugs they sell in the United States. Effective immediately, for the first time ever, we will make it legal for companies to offer supplemental insurance plans specifically for fertility. Americans will be able to opt in to specialized coverage just as they get vision and dental insurance. They’re going to get fertility insurance for the first time.
