Abstract: The right to procreate, and by extension the right to infertility services in general and assisted reproductive technology (ART) in particular, is rooted in the notion of procreative liberty, which rests on firm moral grounds. However, the present legal construct in the United States, wherein the state must protect but not necessarily provide for individual rights, uncouples the right to procreate from universal, let alone State-sponsored, underwriting of general infertility and ART services. It follows that women and couples seeking ART services must independently negotiate their access to care, creating a disadvantage that realistically can only be addressed by underwriters such as employers in the private sector and Congress and the States in the public sector. In order to better understand the challenges of establishing access to reproductive care in a shifting insurance landscape, this project studies the state of, and barriers to, access to general infertility and ART services; the evelopment of public and private ART underwriting; and targets of advocacy within the underwriting universe
