Molinaro Backs Bill Offering Tax Credit For IVF Expenses

Washington, DCU.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19) today announced he introduced the IVF Access and Affordability Act.

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASMR), in-vitro fertilization (IVF­) services can cost as much as $25,000 or more. The IVF Access and Affordability Act, which was authored by U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17), creates a tax credit for IVF expenses. The credit will total $20,000 for individuals and $40,000 for couples filing jointly.

Rep. Molinaro said, "I know how valuable IVF is, but how costly it can be. There’s more we can do to make these services more affordable and accessible. This bill sends a clear message: we will fight the restrictions and support the choices women and their families make.”

In Congress, Rep. Molinaro has opposed a national abortion ban, opposed restrictions on mifepristone, and was the first Republican to back legislation that federally protects IVF and birth control.
