Like most college girls, I don’t want to carry a bun in the oven for 9 months or pop out a 7 lb. person anytime soon. So I choose to be a user of the birth control pill.
Now I’d like to think that this country wants to decrease the instances of unplanned pregnancies, because that usually leads to the issue of abortion (don’t worry, I’m not going there). However, pro-choice, pro-life, whatever pro anyone may be, we’d all like to decrease the amount of abortions.
So, why, oh why is the price of birth control at student health centers doubling or even tripling? I mean, I was paying just $15 for my monthy pack and now I’m paying $30. Sadly, I’m seriously considering going off it altogether because I can’t really afford to shell out the extra cash every month. I’m not made out of money people!
Anyway, the reason for this literally overnight up in cost is due to a change in the Medicaid rebate law that stops drug companies from giving huge discounts to colleges. Don’t they know we’re the ones who need the discount most? (Well, besides the less fortunate).
