This is a sample letter. Please personalize your letters to fit your own situation. This letter is to be used to advocate for bills that are currently being considered in your state legislature. If there is not a bill being considered, and you wish to inform your legislators about the need for such legislation, tailor your letter to fit that situation. This legislation will end the discriminatory practices of insurance companies and provide couples struggling with the disease of infertility with the opportunity to build a family.
Infertility is a medically-recognized disease.
Still, many insurance companies do not provide coverage for treatment to overcome this disease. The financial burden that some of the treatments may place on couples can be large, and the emotional and physical consequences of experiencing infertility can be overwhelming. The strong desire to build a family gives me the strength to face these obstacles, but I also need your support. Well-managed insurance coverage will not place a large burden on insurance companies. Studies have shown that coverage adds just a few dollars per year to an insurance premium.
