Rep. Sara Jacobs Pens Fox News Op-ed Calling on President Trump to Support Expanding IVF Coverage for Service Members

May 19, 2025 Rep. Sara Jacobs Pens Fox News Op-ed Calling on President Trump to Support Expanding IVF Coverage for Service Members In recognition of today’s deadline for policy recommendations due to the Trump Administration on ways to expand IVF access, Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51) penned an op-ed for Fox News , calling on President Trump to support her bicameral legislation to expand TRICARE to cover IVF for service members and military families. Read Rep. Sara Jacobs’ Op-Ed Here In part, Rep. Sara Jacobs said: “Military families need IVF access. They deserve it. And they’ve earned it. That’s why I introduced the “ IVF for Military Families Act ” alongside Illinois Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth to require TRICARE to cover infertility diagnosis and treatment, including IVF. Our legislation would cover up to three complete egg retrievals, unlimited embryo transfers, and the necessary medications for IVF and intrauterine insemination (IUI).... “I’m (obviously) skeptical of Trump’s commitment to expanding IVF access, but he has called himself the “Fertilization President” and the “father of IVF.” If he wants that to be true, he should throw his support behind a demographic that has already sacrificed so much for the safety and security of our country: our military families.” ### Print Email Share Tweet
