Free artificial insemination!

Donald Trump announces that if he is re-elected he will make access to artificial insemination treatments free of charge. He does not provide any details on how the funding will be provided.

Artificial insemination costs several thousand dollars

Under Trump's administration, the state or health insurance will cover the full cost of treatment, the former US president announced at an event in the US state of Michigan. “Because we want more babies, to put it nicely,” said Trump. The 78-year-old did not say how the plan would be implemented or financed.
