Florida's junior U.S. senator says he is going to keep fighting to make it easy for families to get in vitro fertilization.

Rick Scott's bill called "The IVF with HSAs Act" would decopule health savings accounts from high-deductible health plans, but it didn't pass yesterday.

"I know it's expensive. So it's a way to get a tax break to be able to pay for IVF. But of course the Democrats blocked this and I don't understand why they would do that."

Scott says IVF is one of the few unifying policies all Democrats and Republicans agree with.

The senator's bill would also double the current contribution limits on HSAs to over $17,000 for families.
