Getting the expensive fertility treatments covered would be possible, but an uphill battle, health policy experts said.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Former President Donald J. Trump said on the campaign trail Thursday<\/a> that he wants to make in vitro fertilization treatment free for all Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the Trump administration your government will pay or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with I.V.F. treatment,\u201d Mr. Trump said<\/a> on Thursday at a rally in Potterville, Mich.<\/p>\n

I.V.F. often costs tens of thousands of dollars. Policies to cover those costs would be difficult to implement, experts said.<\/p>\n

Requiring insurers to pay would most likely mean passing laws in Congress or persuading a panel of experts<\/a> to add I.V.F. to a list of free preventive women\u2019s health services established by the Affordable Care Act, the health coverage law Mr. Trump tried to repeal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Having the government pay directly for I.V.F. would mean creating essentially a single-payer health care system for a single condition. The approach would require Congress to fund a new division of a federal government to oversee the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president cannot do this on his own,\u201d said Alina Salganicoff, director of the women\u2019s health policy program at KFF, a health research nonprofit. \u201cYou need to have federal funds to do this. Congress needs to appropriate money.\u201d<\/p>\n
