So I live in Colorado, where lawmakers and governors cave to the insurance lobby and don't give a fuzzy rat's ass about infertility and couples struggling to have a child.
There are NO infertility benefits mandated by the state of Colorado. Illinois mandates coverage, Maryland mandates coverage, but Colorado?
SCREW YOU...they say.
If you've got a genetic defect that needs fixing to allow you to have a kid,
then fine. But if you need a fertility specialist to assist in conception?
SCREW YOU.
it's pathetic that lawmakers only push something through the legislature
when it affects them personally.
Colorado should be ashamed of itself. It pales when compared to other
states that take care of good couples who want to bring a child into
the world.
Apparently, taking care of all the welfare babies that have arrived
to idiot parents who have no jobs or means of supporting themselves
is more important.

MN doesn't cover IF treatment either. Does anyone know if AZ does?
Louisiana doesn't mandate coverage either. Anything that even "sounds like infertility" is quickly denied by my insurance.
Dream Mommy, I added you to my links!
I know..it's terrible...
It's like we're defective and unfixable AND the insurance lobby is so powerful.
I find it ironic as hell that
insurance companies cover viagra
but don't cover birth control.
How hypocritical is THAT?
I am from CO as well and am learning all about how much this journey is going to cost us!!
