May 9, 2024, 03:16 PM
New York City faces a class-action lawsuit filed by a former assistant district attorney and his husband, along with thousands of other gay male city employees. The lawsuit claims that the city's health plan discriminates against gay male couples by only covering in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments for women and heterosexual couples. The plaintiffs argue that this policy denies them the benefits to start families, highlighting a significant issue of inequality within the city's health coverage policies.
