I went looking for legislation on infertility being treated like any other disease by insurance companies. I found this website. Obviously that is important to me especially as my insurance coverage rapidly comes to and end, and with it my hopes of having a biological child. Will you take a moment and check out the information below? Thanks.
I found some information on this website: Resolve

Some reading for friends and family about infertility:

The ADA recognizes infertility, why don't the insurance companies? They claim having children is a lifestyle choice? Well it is not my lifestyle choice to be childless...Anyway, I'll get off my soap box for now...but only because I'm tired.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to check this out.
