California's IVF insurance gap prices many out of parenthood
Original: Across California’s IVF insurance divide, many are priced out of parenthood
Fertility treatment coverage in California varies sharply depending on insurance, leaving many couples unable to afford in vitro fertilization. The Los Angeles Times reports that those without employer plans offering IVF benefits face costs that can reach tens of thousands of dollars per cycle, effectively shutting them out of having children. The divide highlights how access to parenthood increasingly depends on where people work and what their plans cover.
Why now: Rising attention to fertility care costs and unequal insurance access has made IVF affordability a live policy and personal finance concern.
