"Not everyone is SUPPOSED to be fertile but give every woman the fighting chance they deserve. Even with treatment, only 20% will actually give birth. How many children does she have?"
"VERY DISTURBING COMMENT"
"Who is Dr. Snyderman to judge or say anything. First she should be aware of individuals reasons for infertility. Not every case is the same. For instance our infertility is not of a genetic nature but one that was required to save my life. I say if she is"
"It is very sad & disturbing to see Good Morning America brings a doctor to the show who is ignorant and not spcialize in the reproductive medicine to make ignorant to the world."
"Nancy do you have children - If so good for you! what if you never had them? If not - I am sorry to hear that because the two I have (one via IVF) are the best! Had I not had insurance for this I would have never had my second little miricle."
"My husband and I have been in treatment for infertility since Oct. 2001. It is a medical condition and with proper medical care it is treatable. Our insurance payment is very high. We should not have to incur the medical expense of infertility treatment ."
"There is no reason why EVERY couple that wants to have children cannot have a chance. There should be efforts made by insurance companies to atleast help make this more available."
"Make the Insurance Companys "Pony UP" ,I say!"
"this comment was very hurtful to the many women who suffer from PCOS."
"I found Dr. Nancy Snyderman's offensive. My husband and I suffer from Male Infertility. I resent her uneducated opinion that maybe not all women are supposed to be fertile. I am fertile, but my husband is not. Let's remember that there are all kinds of d"

"I find Dr. Snyderman's not only insensitive but unprofessional! What kind of a doctor is she anyway? She must also think that some people are just meant to die from Cancer and insurance shouldn't cover treatment because the pricetag is too high!"
"I can't even express fully how much this angers and saddens me."
