Thank You for Supporting # IVF4Vets

Dear [Decision Maker],

I am your constituent and I support issues important to the infertility community. The recent passage of the Mil-Con Appropriations bill for FY 2017 allowed for a significant change for our wounded Veterans. This bill includes an appropriation for funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to cover the costs of reproductive services, including IVF, for veterans who suffered service-related injuries that prevent them from starting or growing their family and also includes adoption assistance services for these veterans.



This legislation removes an outdated barrier on accessing medically necessary IVF treatments for veterans with a service related injury. As an advocate with RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, I'm so grateful Congress has fixed an inequity that existed between medical care offered to active duty service members and Veterans. Thank you for standing up for our Veterans and finally allowing them to have access to the medical care they need to have the dream of family.

Sincerely,
