Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the third agreement with a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer to bring American drug prices in line with the lowest prices paid by other developed nations (known as the most-favored-nation, or MFN, price). This agreement is with one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fertility medications, EMD Serono, and will result in massive cost savings on fertility treatments.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates women can save up to $2,200 per cycle of fertility drugs as a result of this deal on drugs that often cost over $5,000

White House Fact Sheet

As the father of a child conceived through IVF this was one of the issues I was very happy Trump took a stand on during the election cycle, going against a lot of the Evangelical base. He took a strong stance against Alabama's attempt to ban IVF in the state. My wife and I shouldn't ever need IVF again, but I am glad that couples can have access to something that we were fortunate enough to have the financial means to pay for when many potentially great parents can't.

Can't wait to see how they try to spin this against Trump.
