Cost shift

Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

If passed, insurers must pay for fertility preservation for cancer patients of reproductive age, but religious employers can opt out.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

The bill could help young cancer patients keep the chance to have children later, but it also lets some employers dodge the rule, leaving those workers to buy extra coverage themselves.
