Congelación de óvulos de AOC expone altos costos y falta de cobertura

La representante estadounidense Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, que se sometió a un ciclo de congelación electiva de óvulos, señaló que el costo de la intervención puede superar los 40 000 dólares y que la mayoría de los planes de salud estadounidenses no la cubren, lo que ha generado demandas de ampliación de beneficios de seguros y reformas de política, informó CNBC. Anteriormente, Ocasio-Cortez anunció que congelaría sus óvulos y que documentaría el proceso en Instagram, según The Guardian. Más tarde compartió un video describiendo los primeros pasos del tratamiento, informó la BBC. Informes de The Independent y Newser indicaron que la congresista había terminado su compromiso con Riley Roberts en 2022.

CNN señaló que la congelación electiva de óvulos se ha vuelto más común, con costos entre 10 000 y 15 000 dólares más tarifas anuales de almacenamiento. En Nueva York, sus gastos impulsaron una propuesta del Senado estatal para obligar a los seguros a cubrir la congelación electiva, informó Gothamist. Declaraciones financieras revelaron que aún mantiene préstamos estudiantiles federales entre 15 001 y 50 000 dólares, según New York Post.
