California's newly signed bill mandates that large-group employer health plans cover infertility treatments fully, including IVF, significantly supporting families seeking reproductive assistance.
Governor Newsom highlighted the importance of reproductive freedom in California, stating that increasing access to fertility services is crucial for those aspiring to start families.
Despite the broad support for IVF among the public, opposition from conservative groups persists, with criticism focusing on inclusivity of same-sex couples in fertility treatment coverage.
The bill represents a significant legislative win for infertility treatment advocates in California, overcoming previous legislative failures by exempting smaller employer plans and Medi-Cal.
