I think that there should at least be a portion of the procedure covered by AHS. I also think that some should be able to be covered by a benefits package from your provider. An option that would be required to be payed for of course, but the option should be there.

They can put an age limit and/or a multiple use limit on there if they wish, but there should be some coverage available to families. Not being able to have children is something that is very stressful and any help available would be welcome to those who need it. Not everyone requiring IVF or other fertility treatments are 40 year old women who are finally realizing that their biological clock is on it's last tick.

For those of you who are saying adopt instead, adoption costs just as much if not more than IVF.

Do you believe that smokers and fatties should get all of their health care covered by AHS? These people chose to smoke and eat at McD's all of their life, why should my tax dollars pay for their health care costs? Why can't they pay for all of their procedures out of their own pocket? They elected to smoke and pig out, so they elect to have the necessary treatments. Therefore, their health care should also be considered elective procedures.
