What this amendment would do

SA 5797, submitted by Ms. Duckworth and Mr. Booker, aims to add a section to bill S. 2.

The purpose of this amendment is to require President Donald Trump to fulfill a 2-year-old promise that, if elected to a second term, the government will pay for or insurance companies will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment.

To achieve this, the amendment would:

  • Transfer necessary funds from the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under section 202 to the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
  • Direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to use those funds to fulfill the promise regarding the payment of all IVF treatment costs.
