From Infertility to the Oval Office: Speaking Up for the 1 in 6
Manage episode 514900895 series 3672941
Samantha Busch goes solo to share the full story of her White House trip and Oval Office remarks about infertility and IVF access. In this episode of Certified Oversharer, Samantha recounts the whirlwind invite, the nerves, and the moment she spoke for the 1 in 6 couples facing infertility. She breaks down what the announcement actually does for families: lower fertility medication costs through new programs, employer fertility benefits offered like vision or dental, income-based discounts for lower and middle-income households, and faster FDA approval pathways that should continue to reduce IVF costs. Samantha connects policy to people with stories from the Bundle of Joy Fund, explains why cost is the biggest barrier for so many, and shares how faith sustained her through miscarriages, multiple IVF rounds, and finally to an Oval Office microphone. If you or someone you love is navigating infertility, this episode explains what to ask your employer, how to track coverage updates, and why this is a pivotal step toward accessible fertility care in America.
