An amendment to Pennsylvania’s insurance law that would have required Pennsylvania health insurance policies to provide coverage for the treatment of infertility was withdrawn during the House Insurance Committee this morning.
What does that mean?
Not sure. That’s why I’m meeting with Representative Josh Shapiro, the author of the amendment Thursday morning. It could have been […]
I received the following email from RESOLVE: the National Infertility Association and wanted to share it with you:
Pennsylvania State Representative Josh Shapiro has introduced a bill, an amendment to House Bill 2026, to require Pennsylvania health insurance policies to provide coverage for the treatment of infertility. This is a chance for Pennsylvania to join […]
As a resident of Punxsutawney Phil’s home state, I wish you a Happy Groundhog’s Day, even though his prediction this year makes me sad:
“As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me.

What curious relationships us women have with our wombs.

Are you really going out dressed like that? You’re going to get yourself pregnant!
Don’t hang out with […]
My health insurance is great. But like most, it will not cover fertility treatments. (In fact, my gynecologist’s office had to do some “creative coding” to even get some of the preliminary bloodwork reimbursed.)

Girl hol-la!
If I did this right, you’re listening to Aaliyah’s We Need a Resolution (or will be, once you click Play). Because I’ve been singing it to myself all morning in preparation for this post.
I need some resolutions.
How about these?
Under promise; over deliver.
At work. At home. With friends. With colleagues. With bosses. I am the […]
This is excerpted from this week’s Polish Market Review:
Poland’s new health minister, Ewa Kopacz, is in favour of in-vitro fertilisation being reimbursed from the country’s budget. As many as one million Polish couples suffer from infertility, but only 3,500 a year are able to afford the artificial fertilisation procedure.
