She and her husband run the Bundle of Joy Fund, which attempts to help families remove the financial burdens of getting fertility treatments. The organization has awarded 144 grants with nearly $2 million in funds granted and 100 babies born.
Busch expressed her excitement in an emotional video posted on Instagram.
“I’m in tears writing this—today is monumental for families struggling with infertility,” she captioned the clip. “Thank you President Trump for signing an executive order to expand access for IVF, making it more affordable for American families!
“After years of fighting, advocating, and sharing my IVF journey, seeing this executive order signed to protect and make fertility treatments more affordable is overwhelming.

“Over the years at the Bundle of Joy Fund, we’ve read countless essays from individuals who have had to mortgage their homes, work multiple jobs, and go into debt—just for a chance to have a baby. With the average cost of IVF at $20,000 per cycle and no guarantee of success, the financial burden has been devastating. And with 1 in 6 couples facing infertility, access to care shouldn’t be a privilege—it’s a necessity.
“Today is a step forward. Finally, families will have the coverage they so rightly deserve. Thank you again, Mr. President.”
Trump’s order expands access to fertility treatments through the reduction of out-of-pocket costs. It also ordered the Domestic Policy Council to find ways to make IVF and other fertility treatments more affordable.
