TrumpRx, a drug discount program launched earlier this month, offers coupons for a limited selection of 43 medications, including four used in IVF procedures. Experts view this as a partial fulfillment of Trump's promise to improve IVF access. While the website allows users to search for discounts, fertility, weight loss, and menopause drugs are disproportionately represented. The program aims to lower drug costs, but savings on fertility medications only cover a fraction of the total IVF expense, which can reach $30,000 per cycle. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates savings of up to $2,200 per IVF cycle. The inclusion of fertility drugs comes despite opposition to IVF from some religious conservative groups, like the Heritage Foundation, who influence Trump's policies.
