NYC should cover in vitro fertilization for gay male couples, lawsuit says
A class-action lawsuit filed on Thursday accuses New York City of discriminating against same-sex male couples who want to use in vitro fertilization to conceive children.
Corey Briskin, a former assistant district attorney in Manhattan who is still on the city’s health plan, and his husband Nicholas Maggipinto, filed the suit against the city. The pair live in Brooklyn and previously filed aabout the city’s IVF policy with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2022. But that agency’s investigation into the matter was taking so long they decided to go to court, according to Peter Romer-Friedman, the couple’s attorney.
“We had to take money that was allocated toward paying a surrogate, which we knew was never going to be covered by insurance … and put it toward IVF,” Maggipinto said in the interview, ahead of the court filing. “It definitely set us back, I would say, at least a year and a half since we started the process, because we had to come up with more money.”
