From the City that Changes the World, Pierce Rose with
three things you need to know Forree Wednesday, Rose, you
got press. So President Donald Trump has signed an executive
Order to make in vitro fertilization IVF treatments more affordable
and accessible. This order directs the government to create policies
that will lower the cost of IVF and insure that
more people can have access to the treatment now. Currently,

thousand dollars, which is a lot because one cycle might
it doesn't necessarily mean you'll end up pregnant. I was
looking up like the data and according to most data,
the success rate of IVF on the first try is
generally between twenty and thirty five percent. Could not very

high percentage. I have friends who have done like two
or three cycles to try to get pregnant, and that
is a lot of money out. So the executive order
gives a Domestic Policy Council ninety days to come up
with the recommendations on how to reduce these costs and
improve access. Fairbacks County is launching a website to help
laid off federal workers find support and new employment. So

this website went online yesterday and gives tits on searching
for a new job, starting a business, staying active in
the community, and getting financial and mental health assistance. So

fair today that could offer a fresh star for federal
workers who are interested in education. So that's going to
be at the Willow Oaks Administrative Building in Fairfax at
