I don't want to pay for your Viagra.  I don't want to pay for your pregnancy.  I don't want to pay for your diabetes.  I don't want to pay for your cancer.  I don't want to pay for any treatment for your measles or your mumps or your rubella or your polio.  Etc.[/quote]

Good news. I don’t have any of those. IVF is very very expensive and creates a lot of perverse incentives if insufficient copays. It’s elective. Sorry not sorry — if you want to pursue it, then you need to finance it yourself. Having kids isn’t a right  [/quote]

I sure as heck don't want to pay for your pregnancy coverage or your delivery or your C-section or anything that goes wrong with the baby or the mom.  Having kids isn't a right and if you want to pursue it, you need to finance it yourself.[/quote]

+1.  Pursue your own fertility journey and pay for it yourself.[/quote]

Is that the policy that Trump ran on? (i.e., the point of this thread)[/quote]

Yes, he lied for votes.  His lies got him into office.

We don't want to pay for paternity care either.  We don't want to pay for Viagra and all the other treatments from male infertility....

From the Mayo clinic:

Nearly 1 in 7 couples is infertile, which means they haven't been able to conceive a child even though they've had frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or longer. In up to half of these couples, male infertility plays at least a partial role.

Male infertility can be caused by low sperm production, abnormal sperm function or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors may contribute to male infertility.[/quote]
