President Donald Trump announced a deal with EMD Serono to cut prices on fertility drugs, including Gonal-f, with income-based discounts of 42–79% and online listings at sharply reduced rates. The White House said CVS Specialty and Express Scripts will also lower handling costs. Officials expect the discounted drugs to be available in early 2026, amid IVF costs that can exceed $40,000 across multiple cycles, according to HHS. At a briefing, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blamed endocrine disruptors for falling birth rates, a claim contrasted by studies emphasizing social and economic drivers.
