Chrissy Teigen calling for IVF to be made available on health insurance in all 50 states- Is she right?

Who PAYS for all this?

No. The only infertility treatment I'd like to include on healthcare plans is "How To Live With Infertility" counseling.

Humans don't need to breed more, and especially humans who already have children shouldn't get assistance in breeding.

No. IVF is not a necessary health condition. It's something for infertile couples who really want to have a bio child so they should pay for that. They could opt instead to adopt or not have kids at all.

That said, health insurance is a fucking racket.

r1 You are being rhetorical?

r2 In the UK we offer a set number of IVF cycles on the NHS but waiting lists for treatment can be hugely variable between regions but a stipulation that you cannot receive treatment if one or both of you have biological children already is a common condition on qualifying for free treatment. Also there has been some speculation recently that maybe Scotland should offer more free IVF treatment as one way of growing the countrys population.

I adopted so I would say no. Sounds selfish but if you really want kids you will find the money for it.

Only, if abortion is. If abortion cannot be in certain states because it's God's will you be pregnant then it's also God's will when you can't.

Fucking nuts. Like there aren’t enough humans destroying everything.

[quote] Only, if abortion is.

Oh dear.

r7 That is seeking moral consistency at least.

No, we don't need more humans on this overpopulated world. They are probably passing the infertility to the next generations and generating more costs in the future. If you wanna reproduce even when nature is telling you not to, pay with your own money. I thought she was out of social media. It was just a show for likes?

Exactly r10. I actually couldn't care less either way except for the hypocrisy

So tired of Chrissy, she lives for attention. She must pay her publicist a lot for all the mentions she gets.

No. Spend more money on helping families in poverty keep their children instead.

Oh, and free birth control of all types - the pill, IUDs, condoms, vasectomies, morning after pill, abortion pill/procedure too.

I'd like to attach a hose connected to a large tank of fertilized cobra eggs to this bitch's mouth and turn it on like a firehose.

Cunting cunt.

No. If you truly wanted to be a parent, you would adopt.

r11 some people in scientific circles predict that in future all babies will be conceived via fertility treatment rather than sex not because of infertility but because it will be classed as the socially responsible way to reproduce?

I’m glad I had an abortion!

I'm so tired of this cunt, didn't they put pics of the dead baby online? Entitled cunt and that bug looking husband of hers too.

One word: adopt.

Will gay men get surrogacy covered? Or is this a right only women get?

I expect the entire pro-life brigade to oppose this as being against God's will.

Right?

This woman is the biggest bimbo on earth. One of her handlers most likely suggested she make the IVF comment, since she is dumb, dumb, dumb. Publicity ploy!

Health care premiums are already sky high and climbing every year. This would just make it even more expensive so people like her can have designer babies.

SurvivingAngel, you're American?

r22 The only states I could imagine legislating for that maybe would be New York or California. Here in the UK the NHS is increasingly facilitating surrogacy.

For somebody with so little talent she is everywhere, she must have a fantastic publicist. She is a pit viper and I hope someday she gets stung.

She’s a model? For what?

Ladyboy got FATTTT!

r28 As sure as eggs are eggs one day that will happen!

Do you think NBC is helping to publicize Chrissy because I noticed they are really pushing John? She gets more attention than most well known celebrities and it’s like she is famous for nothing. She has got to be exhausting and I am surprised John is not tired of her.

SurvivingAngel, I can't imagine IVF or surrogacy being all that common on the NHS

R32 I think she's paying for publicity.

The worst idea I've heard in a long time. This fool should be given enough rope to hang herself once and for all.

If you can't afford IVF, then how are you going to afford raising a child?

Of course she is back on Twitter already

With more than 8 billion humans on this planet, crowding out other life and generally laying waste to the earth, we really don't need to encourage this do we? And if we don't make it stop, Mother will do it for us. COVID is just a foretaste.

Is she 90 percent filler? Oof

Covid lockdown has been extremely difficult for narcissists.

r33 The number of paid for IVF cycles are limited on the NHS but are availiable. The NHS deals with whoever is pregnant whether they are lone mothers to be pregnant from a one night stand, A married couple or gay couple etc

They are not involved currently in all surrogacy stages or arrangements pre pregnancy but are so in an increasing number of cases were things like gamete donations are involved.The NHS is much more involved in surrogacy than a decade ago and seems to be gearing up for more of it in future where they are needed with some people to assist a pregnancy coming about. Couples who can conceive without the help of the NHS tend to make their arrangements through charities or organisations s like Surrogate UK .

Does this cunt ever let up?

No. It's a caprice for the affluent. People should adopt.

I blame Barbra.

IVF makes me think of all the money Barbra Streisand spent to clone her dog.

You need a new dog? Go to the pound. Get another dog who needs a home.

We don't need a continuous stream of updates about Chrissy Teigen's every thought.

Who the fuck do I have to blow to get the ignore thread feature to work again?

Chrissy looks like such a villainess. It's those eyebrows, arched to make her look mean and scheming.

You can blow me, R45!

The "ignore" feature works for me when I am logged into Data Lounge.

Yeah, I'm not going through that bullshit again, R47.

There are religious nuts crapping out 20 kids in one family. Take one of their kids and toss them to a couple who can’t conceive.

Breeders have so many problems. Life must be so difficult for them. Poor breeders.

To paraphrase Michael Jackson, if you can't make a baby, then don't have a baby.

Nature built infertility into the system for a reason. Overpopulation is a problem.

No, God doesn't want them to have children

Having a child, is just a hobby. Health insurance shouldn't pay for hobbies

One of the stupidest ideas ever proposed.

I'm stunned that it's covered anywhere. Only lip injections are more optional and less necessary than IVF.

Frankly, IVF should be completely banned. If you cannot squeeze a kid out the natural way, then you weren't meant to have children. If you're so emotionally bereft that you MUST raise a child, your ONLY option should be adoption.

Stupid idea from a stupid person - to paraphrase Forest: Stupid is as stupid does.

Rolls eyes at SA/R4. Thanks for contribution to the discussion.

I don't think it should be completely free. And it should be subject to conditions about how likely the child is to be raised in a secure environment- don't know how you'd enforce that though.

I've a married friend who would literally make the world's best parent and she's nearly bankrupting herself to get pregnant. She's lovely and I'm heartbroken for her every time it fails. She's secure with work and properties but all her money goes on ridiculously expensive treatments. Surely it should be subsidised in her case.

Another friend wanted a sibling for her child and it just wasnt happening - for years. She was happy to pay because although she was desperate for two, she knew she was lucky enough to have one. She has her two now and is satisfied. Fair enough.

But just any old girl wanting a baby on a whim or wanting a litter of kids? No way!

r44 Insane and totally whacky that she did that and that it is even allowed Very emotionally and psychologically unhealthy.

There are enough fucking people on this planet.

With IVF the percentage of risk of cerebral palsy is greatly increased - something doctors hawking IVF don't talk about.

The world is overpopulated as is the foster care system. Fuck these narcissists.

too many people in this world already. hence mother nature gave use the pandemic. we don't need more dumb cunts like her.

r59 Perhaps mother nature is increasingly going to give us pandemics? A lot more regularly than once a century.

R60 I have wondered if this pandemic is not Mother Nature's revenge on us for destroying the natural world. I'm sure David Attenborough agrees.

[quote][R60] I have wondered if this pandemic is not Mother Nature's revenge on us for destroying the natural world

I don't know that anthropomorphizing natural phenomenon is valid - I mean, it's a hop, skip, and jump to a divine deity in charge of everything from there.

However, I do buy that nature is a somewhat self-regulating mechanism. If you believe in evolution and adaptation as the basis for living organisms to survive to seek out niches not currently occupied, it makes complete sense that viruses would evolve and adapt - that various viruses would find a means to survive as their current hosts are killed due to habitat destruction.

Attenborough in a recent show demonstrated how all these deadly viruses which come from wildlife reach us when they are taken for human consumption or their habitat destroyed. HIV got started from people in Africa eating bushmeat aka chimps and gorillas.

Why is she allowed to speak? She’s painfully unfunny and clearly self absorbed. Her pumpkin head is so distracting. She bullied a 9yo child on Twitter in 2013. She’s a cunt. Plenty of kids in need of loving parents but she wants insurance to pay for fraus who can’t get knocked up to be given the treatments? Fuck her.

r62 Belief in the divine or God ,supreme being ,universal spirit etc and believing in evolution are not inevitably incompatible unless you buy into a caricature version or characterisation of faith and spiritual /religious belief or a caricature of science and rationality.

Influencers like her and the fucking Kardashians should all have their social media accounts closed down.

I hope she meets a violent end. Stupid fat faced attention whore.

What do you say Lassie, is Chrissy Teigen is getting treatment??? 🐕

She's got nothing better to say so she's appealing to fraus.

[quote] some people in scientific circles predict that in future all babies will be conceived via fertility treatment rather than sex not because of infertility but because it will be classed as the socially responsible way to reproduce?

R18 is this a question or a statement? Do you have a source? Knowing your history on the surrogacy subject I’d hazard a guess that this is total conjecture. Wait where should I put the extraneous question mark? Please advise??? ???

Wasn't she off social media? She must've got thirsty. Again.

She couldn't be more wrong. There's too many fucking people and she's one of them. I hate her face.

😯 The fame whore made her official announcement a few days ago .........

[italic] I'm Baaaaaaaaack !

FWIW I have met Chrissy and she was very nice in person.

Will this fat hog EVER go the fuck away?

Isn't John Legend sick of her yet?

People keep getting mad at Chrissy but honestly, they should be mad at the media that keeps writing about her every thought and they should be mad at themselves for continually giving weight to anything she says and discussing it prompting the media to continue to write about her.

The same thing applies to Meghan McCain. People hate her but they won't stop talking about her. That's why she'll be on The View as long as she wants. She has her stylist do her hair strangely one day and people won't shut up about it. Her mission is accomplished.

Chrissy is lucky to have a beautiful little boy and girl who look like John and her. But I imagine she loves the attention pregnancy gets her.

Courtney Stodden is looney tunes but I love her outing those messages Chrissy sent her telling her to kill herself. Chrissy is an evil bitch.

IVF is covered in Ontario, but is limited to a single embryo per lifetime. The thinking was that would cut down on higher risk and very expensive multiple birth pregnancies. The system was paying for the IVF but it was picking up the costs of the births, obviously.

I just feel so sorry for John Legend.

r79 He choose her and he has the freedom to choose to leave her ?

I get tired of the "cancel" B.S. but I would love if it happened to Chrissy, it would kill her because she is so thirsty for attention.

Chrissy needs to go suck on a test tube.

Fuck your faulty genes and don’t breed more defects!

Naughty!! r82

Now she issued an "apology" on Twitter to Courtney Stodden. Only because she doesn't want to get canceled.

Fuck no.

If they do want to encourage the US birthrate, they should strengthen middle-class wages so people can start families younger. Then you won't have desperate fortysomething women trying to pop out a brat because they can finally, finally afford one.

I'm just gonna say what everybody here is thinking: Can this crazy, disturbed bitch just DIE already?!?

(Socially speaking, that is..)
