LA CROSSE, Wis., and POTTERVILLE, Mich.—As part of what he called a “pro-family” emphasis, former President Donald Trump revealed a new pledge to help couples who are trying to conceive children using in-vitro fertilization.
“I am announcing today that, under the Trump administration, your government will pay for—or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for—all costs associated with IVF treatment,” Trump said during a speech in Potterville, Michigan, on Aug. 29.
“We want more babies,” he said, adding that, if he wins reelection, his administration would allow new parents to deduct “major newborn expenses” from their taxes.
During the Potterville speech, and hours later in a second campaign stop in La Crosse, Wisconsin, the Republican presidential nominee also reiterated his plans for improving the U.S. economy and reducing inflation.
IVF became an issue in the presidential campaign in February while Biden was still running for president. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that, under state law, frozen embryos could be considered children.
