we petition the obama administration to:

Mandate All Insurance to Cover Infertility as Basic Healthcare. Acknowledge Infertility as a Disease, Not a Choice.

No one expects to receive a diagnosis of infertility, or in even more crippling times, unexplained infertility, but they do. Then we reach out to the insurance companies WE pay to help us, not expecting to be turned away, and we are. Infertility is a disease that men and women do not choose, nor do we welcome the depression, shame, and anxiety that accompany it.

It is referred to as a "pre-existing condition" that requires months, to years, of care, but how is being diagnosed with the inability to do what you were BORN to do, different than someone who has diabetes and seeks possible lifetime assistance through their insurance?

Mandate infertility coverage on a state level, so those who already suffer do not have to spend more on a second policy, just to have a dream come to life.
