NYC Faces Class-Action Lawsuit for Denying Gay Men IVF Coverage
May 9, 2024, 04:40 PM
New York City faces a class-action lawsuit for allegedly discriminating against gay male employees by denying them in vitro fertilization (IVF) coverage under its health plan. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, claims that the city's health insurance discriminates by only providing IVF benefits to heterosexual and lesbian couples. A former New York City assistant district attorney and his husband are leading the lawsuit, asserting that the city's policy excludes gay male couples from receiving IVF benefits, which they planned to use with a surrogate.
