Kansas Infertility Insurance Mandate http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/kansasif/ We, the undersigned, are requesting the State of Kansas 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 problem. Furthermore, in these mandated states, infertility treatments are more successful and less risky for the mother and child. It is estimated that such a mandate would only cost each person $3 per year. 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.

Even as a nurse, I still can not afford the treatments I need to achieve pregnancy. It has been a 12 year struggle, and has resulted in many spells of emotional distress.
