IMPORTANT - Encourage US federal legislation to mandate insurance coverage for IF!!!

Everyone in the U.S.-
This is very important! There is currently a federal bill in congress (from what I can tell, congress hasn't voted on this bill yet. If I'm wrong, someone please let me know.) to do the following:

"The Family Building Act of 2005 (HR 735), introduced by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), would require insurance coverage of infertility treatments (including up to 4 IVF attempts) by all health plans that also cover obstetrical benefits."

This is very important to those of us especially who live in states with NO or poor IF coverage!!
Everyone, please, even if you have good insurance coverage for IF, if you have suffered from IF / are suffering from IF / know someone suffering from IF, please contact your senators & representatives and tell them to vote for this bill! It is VERY EASY to do since the Resolve site has the letter already written! Tell your friends and family to do the same!

Form letter/email to your senators/reps:
