Samantha Busch Asks People to ‘Put Aside Politics’ & Reunite for a Great Cause

In the complex and emotionally charged world of fertility treatments, Samantha Busch has emerged as a powerful voice for change. As the wife of two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, she’s become a passionate advocate for the IVF community, drawing from her own experience with infertility. Recently, she took to social media to amplify the conversation, reigniting attention not only by highlighting the stalled federal IVF policy but also through a heartfelt appeal to move beyond politics and unite around a deeply human cause. Her message subtly pointed to growing concerns over the White House’s silence, urging leaders to recognize the stakes and respond with meaningful action.

Busch uses her Bundle of Joy platform to spotlight the emotional and financial hurdles families face in their fertility journeys. Her Instagram handle says it all: “real people are waiting for real answers.” For many hopeful parents, access to infertility treatment has become a rallying cry. That cry continues to grow louder as the push for equitable funding and IVF access gains momentum.

Samantha Busch loses her calm over the federal IVF policy delay

Earlier this year, Samantha Busch and her team at the Bundle of Joy Fund submitted a formal appeal to the White House, urging swift action to expand access to IVF and provide federal support for families struggling with infertility. The appeal included data from hundreds of applicants who had reached out to the foundation, underscoring the urgent need for financial assistance and policy clarity. Shortly afterward, on February 18, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at lowering IVF costs.

Samantha had actively supported the executive order signed by President Trump. The order directed the Domestic Policy Council to submit policy recommendations within 90 days, but months have passed without any public updates. Recently, she expressed her frustration on Instagram, calling for transparency from the White House and demanding clarity on the delay. For her, this issue transcends politics; it’s about medical necessity and the dreams of countless families waiting for answers.

She wrote on Instagram, “I don’t care if you’re Democrat or Republican, this isn’t a game. IVF is not a luxury, it’s a medical necessity for a classified disease. People are literally putting IVF on hold while waiting for clarity.” For Busch, this issue goes beyond politics; it is about medical necessity and hope for families. She emphasizes that IVF is not a luxury but an essential option for those struggling with infertility. The delay in federal policy is keeping many families waiting for answers and standing in the way of their dreams of parenthood.

Following reports from unnamed sources about the White House’s stance on IVF funding, Samantha proceeded to write, “IVF is unattainable for most Americans, not because their dreams aren’t worthy, but because the high cost of IVF is out of reach. Our small foundation, The Bundle of Joy Fund, can’t even afford to support even a quarter of these applicants. We deserve more than rumors, distractions, and unnamed sources. We deserve the truth, transparency, and ACTION.” For Busch, the issue is clear: families deserve honest answers and meaningful support, not silence.

No updates on IVF subsidies leaves families in limbo

After months of speculation, the White House has decided not to require insurance coverage for IVF. This move comes despite a key campaign promise from President Donald Trump, who had pledged that his administration would either fund IVF services or mandate insurance companies to cover them.

In August 2024, amid political debates over abortion rights, Trump stated, “The government is going to pay for it, or we’re going to mandate your insurance company to pay for it… We want to produce babies in this country, right?”

However, more than six months into his second term, the administration has not introduced new federal subsidies for IVF. Additionally, two sources familiar with internal discussions confirmed that White House officials are moving away from proposals to require IVF coverage for the millions enrolled in Affordable Care Act exchanges.

This has left Mrs. Busch and her team at Bundle of Joy in a difficult position. As numerous applications for financial assistance for IVF treatment pile up, they are left without clear answers.
