success rate was lower if women used their own eggs, especially if they were age 38 or older. the study might also change the thinking of health insurers. they typically cover only two or three cycles

clock is ticking for congress to reach an agreement to help future student borrowers from paying more money to finance their educations. interest rates on subsidized stafford loans are set to double on july 1, unless law makers act. both democrats and republicans say that can't happen. and that current rates should be extended for at least another year. young voters are a key voting block and

news. >> reporter: the supreme court decision will impact this 4-year-old born premature and needed dialysis and a kidney transplant. myra's family health insurance reached its maximum payout and no insurance company was willing to offer her a policy because of her pre-existing condition. >> you are flagged, the insurance companies don't want you. >> reporter: the health care law allowed them to buy insurance for their daughter without caps since it made it illegal to deny or limit insurance based on a child's condition. insurance companies said they could afford this because of the law's requirement that every american buy insurance, the so-called individual mandate. so, the wisconsin family is in fear the court will overturn that mandate, along with the law helping those with pre-existing conditions. since the two policies are linked. >> it would be devastating to our family. it would be such a financial burden. she still needs medications, her prescription drugs, without

know for a fact it will be impacting us very badly. >> reporter: he says the law's requirement that he insure all his employees will tie up company funds and keep him from hiring new employees. >> america is not in a position to really provide health care right now to all its people. there are other ways to do that. let us grow our businesses. >> reporter: if the supreme court overturns the entire health care law, i would expect president obama and democrats to come out swinging, robustly challenging republicans to solve the problem of the nation's health care crisis. if the supreme court only overturns individual mandate and related provision expect president obama to talk about all that remains in the bill all the good still being done. jake tapper, abc news, new york. >> a lot
