The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will begin covering costs for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and adoptions for combat-wounded veterans struggling with infertility because of their injuries. President Obama signed a bill recently that allows the agency to pay the costs for the next two years from existing VA health-care funds. VA supports legislation that would permanently establish IVF as part of the medical services it offers.
