There are a lot of problems (and cost) with having low birth weight babies. Since IVF is very expensive many couples get multiple eggs implanted and often time have twins or more. Many times these kids are born early and have health issues that cost the system way more than funding IVF.
If you fund IVF, you can perhaps lower the number of eggs implanted and thus save the health care system dollars down the road because you have less low birth weight babies.
