Could free IVF really become a reality? President Trump recently signed an executive order aimed at expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), and it’s stirring up big conversations in the fertility world. But what does this order actually do—and just as importantly, what does it not do?

In this episode, we break it all down:
✅ What the executive order includes—and whether it could lead to insurance mandates or federal funding for IVF.
✅ How Congress once blocked federal funds for IVF and later reversed the policy for veterans.
✅ What this means for military families, veterans, and federal employees—and whether TRICARE or VA benefits will expand.
✅ The impact on private insurance—could this order eventually push insurance companies to cover IVF for more people?
✅ What happens next? The executive order gives a 90-day deadline for recommendations—so what changes could be coming?

If you’re struggling with infertility, thinking about IVF, or just curious about how politics and fertility treatment intersect, this episode will give you a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of what this order means for your fertility journey.
