Samantha Busch, wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, shared an emotional reaction to President Trump's executive order aimed at making in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility treatments more accessible and affordable. The order resonates deeply with Busch, who, along with her husband, founded the Bundle of Joy Fund. This organization provides financial assistance to families struggling with the costs of fertility treatments.

The Bundle of Joy Fund has already made a significant impact, awarding 144 grants totaling nearly $2 million and resulting in the birth of 100 babies. In a heartfelt Instagram video, Busch expressed her gratitude for the executive order, calling it a "monumental" day for families facing infertility challenges.
She highlighted the financial strain IVF places on couples, with average costs reaching $20,000 per cycle and no guarantee of success. Busch emphasized that access to such care should be a necessity, not a privilege, given that 1 in 6 couples experience infertility.

The executive order aims to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for fertility treatments and directs the Domestic Policy Council to explore further avenues for making IVF and other related treatments more affordable. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the signing of the order on X, emphasizing the administration's commitment to expanding access to IVF.
