Seven Months After Trump’s Big Executive Order, IVF Is Still in a Weird Place

Uncertainty Surrounds IVF After Trump's Executive Order

Seven months after President Trump's executive order to "expand IVF access", the medical procedure remains widely available, but its future is unclear.

On February 18, 2025, Trump issued the order, asking a group within his administration to propose ideas to make IVF more affordable and accessible. The report, presented in May by the Domestic Policy Council, has not been released, and no policy changes have been made.

Trump, who famously called himself the "father of IVF" during his presidential campaign, wanted a full report in 90 days.

Experts note that the lack of progress on this issue is not surprising, given the leader's party stance on choice.

Author's summary: Trump's IVF executive order has yielded no policy changes.
