U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison Calls Out Republican Betrayal Stripping IVF Coverage Out of NDAA
WASHINGTON, DC - Today, U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison (MN-03) called out President Trump and Congressional Republicans' betrayal of American families after blocking critical IVF treatment expansion for military families.
President Trump has called himself the "fertilization president" and promised to expand IVF treatment - but Congressional Republicans are sending a bill to President Trump's desk that fails to expand coverage of IVF treatment for military families.
An OB-GYN for more than 20 years and a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, Rep. Morrison condemned President Trump and Congressional Republicans' actions on the House floor.

Read a transcript of Rep. Morrison's remarks below:
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to condemn the betrayal of President Trump and his Republican majorities. Trump called himself the "fertilization president" and promised to expand access to IVF - but his Speaker of the House just blocked critical IVF expansion for military families.
The American people overwhelmingly want to expand access to IVF.
And it's what Donald Trump promised them as he was running for president last year. And I quote word for word: "Under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment. Or we're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay."
But here we are, and the Republican Congress is sending a bill to President Trump's desk that fails to expand coverage for military families to do just that.
So the brave service members who put their lives on the line for our country and our freedoms will not be able to access the care they need to grow their families if they suffer from infertility.
This is sadly only the latest betrayal by the Republican majority talking a big game about being "pro-family" but blocking policies that would actually support them.
It is beyond disappointing. It is cruel.
