Scripps News | The financial and emotional toll of IVF treatment @scrippsnews | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
Roughly one in four couples have difficulty getting pregnant. Despite those numbers, just over 230,000 patients did IVF in 2021, resulting in 0.02% of live births.

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats failed to garner enough votes to move forward with a bill that would have codified protections for IVF. The vote was set up by Democrats after former President Donald Trump announced at a campaign rally that if he wins a second term in office, his administration would make IVF treatment free to all women.
