Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has suggested that Democrats should adopt one of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises about expanding coverage for fertility treatments. Buttigieg made these comments during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast on Sunday.
During his 2024 campaign, Trump promised to expand coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, later making controversial comments about being the ‘fertilization president’ that raised eyebrows about his approach to women’s health issues. This was part of his effort to appeal to voters with what he called “pro-family” policies. The promise gained attention as fertility treatments can be very expensive for families trying to have children.
