BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to condemn the betrayal of President Trump and his Republican majorities. Trump called himself the fertilization President and promised to expand access to IVF, but his Speaker of the House just blocked critical IVF expansion for military families.

The American people overwhelmingly want to expand access to IVF. It is what Donald Trump promised them as he was running for President last year. I quote word for word: ``Under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment, or we are going to be mandating that the insurance company pay.''

Here we are, and the Republican Congress is sending a bill to President Trump's desk that fails to expand coverage for military families to do just that.

The brave servicemembers who put their lives on the line for our country and our freedoms will not be able to access the care they need to grow their families if they suffer from infertility.

Mr. Speaker, this is sadly only the latest betrayal by the Republican majority talking a big game about being profamily but blocking policies that would actually support them. It is beyond disappointing. It is cruel.
