Washington State Infertility Insurance Mandate

To:  Washington State Congress

We, the undersigned, are requesting the State of Washington to enact an infertility insurance mandate. Currently, 15 states in the U.S. are required to offer or treat infertility. These mandates were designed to make conception more affordable (and less emotionally draining) to the 1 of 6 couples that struggle with the problem. Furthermore, in these mandated states, infertility treatments are more successful and less risky for the mother and child. Such mandates only cost subscribers approximately $2 a month. According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), only a select few (10-15%) require the more advanced and highly-publicized Assisted Reproductive Techniques, such as in vitro fertilization. Other men and women can be treated by less expensive methods. Without the assistance of insurance to pay for treatments ranging from medications to IVF, many people will never experience the joy of pregnancy, childbirth, or watching their child grow.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
