WASHINGTON — A group of four House Republicans sent a letter to the Biden administration Wednesday protesting a policy to expand access to in vitro fertilization, or IVF, for veterans. The letter, addressed to Denis McDonough, the secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, was signed by Reps. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., Mary Miller, R-Ill., Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., and Bob Good, R-Va., who said they had 'a plethora of ethical concerns and questions' with the policy.
Before today’s expansion of care, VA was only allowed to provide IVF services to Veterans who were legally married and — within that relationship — able to produce their own gametes . Under this expansion of care, VA will offer IVF benefits to qualifying Veterans regardless of marital status and — for the first time — allow the use of donor eggs, sperm, and embryos.
