We, the undersigned, are requesting the State of Oklahoma to enact an infertility insurance mandate. Currently, 15 states in the U.S. are required to offer or treat infertility. These mandates were designed to make conception more affordable (and less emotionally draining) to the 1 of 6 couples that struggle with the disorder. Studies in mandated states have shown that infertility mandates do not greatly increase premiums. In some respects, the mandate helps to save health care dollars. In non-mandated states, since women and men cannot afford more than one cycle, they may dangerously request to transfer more embryos than may be safe. As a result, they may become pregnant with multiples, increasing the cost of prenatal care, delivery, and neonatal intensive care. With multiples, women are usually required to be on bed rest, causing insurance companies and employers large losses. Furthermore, in mandated states, infertility treatments are more successful and less risky for the mother and child. Without the assistance of insurance to pay for treatments ranging from medications to IVF, many people will never experience the joy of pregnancy, childbirth, or watching their child grow. Current legislation deems pregnancy and childbirth as "unnecessary" and "optional". Without children, there is no future and by denying infertility treatment, you are robbing millions of people from a future full of laughter, happiness, and potential.

I support this petition. This not only affects my family or lack of family I should say but also affects thousands others throughout the state of Oklahoma. This has become increasingly more difficult for my wife and I because our insurance does not cover fertility. It has even made us consider moving to Texas where they mandate employers to carry some form of infertility coverage.

I support this petition. Those of you who have never been through the horrible ups and downs of infertility thankfully will never understand how hard it is. Thankfully you will never have to wonder what your life would be like without your children. There are so many of us that do. Help those of us who want to be parents so badly have our hopes and dreams answered.
