RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association Urges Lawmakers to Oppose
Legislation Excluding Coverage of Infertility Treatment.
WALTHAM, Mass. and BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 6 // -- The Massachusetts
legislature is currently debating proposals to expand health insurance
coverage to uninsured residents. RESOLVE: The National Infertility
Association and its Massachusetts-based chapter, RESOLVE of the Bay State, are
urging law makers to oppose any proposed legislation that would exclude
coverage of infertility treatment, reversing a mandate that has been in law
since 1987, which recognizes infertility treatment as basic to all insurance
policies.
"We applaud the Commonwealths efforts to expand insurance coverage for
the uninsured. However, on behalf of the more than 150,000 people in
Massachusetts now struggling with infertility, we urge law makers to ensure
that any new legislation not come at the expense of family building and the
infertility coverage mandate," said Joseph Isaacs, CAE, President and CEO,
RESOLVE. "Massachusetts showed great leadership by passing one of the first
and most comprehensive infertility coverage laws in our country. Reversing
this mandate would be detrimental to the thousands of infertility patients in
Massachusetts, and represents an enormous setback for family building."
RESOLVE representatives and patients are available for interviews and can
discuss:
* the impact infertility coverage has had on payors, insurance companies,
employers and patients
* how Massachusetts ranks among other states offering infertility coverage
* how excluding infertility coverage will discriminate against the women
and men in Massachusetts struggling to have a baby

founded in 1974, is the oldest and largest patient organization representing
the consumer voice of infertile men and women.
