Presidential candidate Mr. Donald J. Trump has put forward a bold proposal to require the government or insurance companies to pay for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments. While this initiative aims to combat America’s declining birth rates, the allocation of funds raises concerns regarding patient interests, American workers, and taxpayers.

IVF has been a revolutionary technology since its inception in 1978, enabling millions of parents to conceive children. The cost of IVF treatments has significantly decreased over the years, making it more accessible to a broader population. However, public insurance programs and many private plans in the U.S. do not cover IVF treatments, creating financial barriers for individuals seeking fertility assistance.

If Mr. Trump proceeds with his plan to mandate funding for IVF treatments, he must consider three potential options: funding providers, mandating insurance coverage, or directly funding patients. Each option presents unique challenges and implications that could impact the healthcare system and the patients it serves.

Option I: Fund Providers (The Free Covid-19 Test Approach)

Under this approach, the government would pay providers for delivering IVF treatments, similar to the model used for free Covid-19 at-home tests. However, this method could lead to bureaucratic price setting and potential industry monopolization, hindering patient choice and innovation in the market.

Providers may prioritize regulatory compliance over patient satisfaction, compromising the quality of care and limiting competition in the healthcare sector.

Option II: Mandate Insurance Coverage (The ACA Approach)

Alternatively, the government could require insurance plans to cover IVF treatments, similar to the essential health benefits mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While this approach aims to broaden access to IVF services, it could inflate premiums for employers and individuals, leading to higher healthcare costs overall.

Insurance plans may lack incentives to contain prices under this model, potentially resulting in escalating healthcare expenses for consumers without significant cost controls.

Option III: Fund Patients (The Defined Contribution Approach)

A third option involves providing means-tested financial assistance directly to IVF patients, allowing them to choose their provider and pay for services independently. This approach promotes market competition, incentivizing providers to offer competitive prices and quality care to attract patients.

By empowering patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare, this model fosters innovation and efficiency in the healthcare industry, benefiting consumers and driving down costs.

Ultimately, the best way to ensure affordable and high-quality healthcare services is through free market competition. By prioritizing patient-centered funding approaches, policymakers can support innovation, lower costs, and improve access to essential treatments like IVF.

As Mr. Trump considers his proposal to fund IVF treatments, it is crucial to prioritize the needs and preferences of patients, uphold market principles, and promote a healthcare system that works for all Americans.
