New York Comprehensive Infertility Insurance Mandate Petition

To:  New York Congress

We, the undersigned, are requesting a comprehensive infertility insurance mandate for the State of New York. The current mandate does not cover policies written after September 2002, people that are self-employed or employed for multi-state corporations. The mandate also does not cover Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) or elective sterilization reversals. ARTs, such as IVF are omitted because they are deemed "experimental" by the current mandate. However, ART has been practiced successfully for decades. Furthermore, in an age of divorce, remarriage, and blended families, sterilization reversal is the only way for remarried couples to conceive. The current mandate benefits many people, by excludes so many others. One out of every six couples requires infertility treatment. How many of these couples will be forced to be forever childless?

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
