Should We Pay To Fertilize Women's Barren Wombs?

The question is, should we cover women's fertility treatment for in-vitro fertilization under our socialized healthcare plan?

Women are go getters now:


This above graph is old. Following the trend momentum for women, the average age of first marriage projects to 27-28 years old and this is just the average. Though it must be noted that marriage is now unhinged from the connection to childbirth due to our now 42% single women birth rate (graph dated), I surmise that by combining the fact that women are 60% of college degrees and out earn men in every major city in the U.S. with the phenomena and effect of female hypergamy demonstrated below:

-age at first attempt at pregnancy puts women around age 35. We know that this age onward is the twilight of female fertility. If we further add in the fact that 1 in 4 women now carry an STD most prominent of which is HPV disease, this further serves to decrease their fertility (See: HERE).

I believe that with in-vitro fertilization treatment being as expensive as it is, combined with the rate of growth in demand we are experiencing for this procedure, along with demographic population trends and current debt obligations we are currently experiencing, paying to make women's wombs fertile will be an unsustainable expenditure. Reality is that we simply can't afford it.

The fertility quotient clearly places problems in the age 35-40 range

I looked at the census the other day. Half of women up to age 29 have never been married and with only a 44% total intact marriage rate at age 34 we have serious problems not only in the prospect of the two biological parent married family but fertility itself. With our already below replacement level birth rate we simply can not afford not to calculate the strain of not only the baby-boomer generation on our healthcare capacity but the fallout from the subsequent decline in birth rate and furthermore the decline in number of births altogether. None of it seems sustainable to me.

To be honest I suspect that we will increasingly be overrun by the foreign hordes pounding at our gates if not having to open immigration policy in order to stem our decline. I do not expect American culture to remain homogeneous for very long. If anything I expect us to become an ever more divided nation along the lines of the socio-ethnic, gender, fundamental moral ethos as related to the social construct and policy but also religion \ the lack thereof. When a culture is dissolved to these levels and representation is divided accordingly, discord ensues. Increasingly as the core foundation of the mated pair bond breaks down, we witness disparate representation by socio-political and socio-economic gender class, and at this point it is mainly on behalf of women. The natural consequence is a further exacerbation of the initial problem i.e. the breakdown in the male\female mated pair bond and the social structure that facilitates it.
