Birth Control Access Campaign

The price of birth control at college campus health centers and at many clinics serving low income women has increased dramatically. At some campuses, it has doubled and some others have tripled. And some have seen prices go up five times.

Why are you paying more for birth control?

For almost 20 years, Medicaid pricing rules allowed pharmaceutical companies to provide college health centers and clinics serving low income women with birth control at a substantial discount. As a result, young women and low income women across the country have had access to affordable birth control.

But in 2005, the rules changed, going into effect on January 1, 2007. The result: the run-up of birth control prices this Spring and Summer on campus.

Join us in demanding that policymakers restore affordable birth control for college health centers and clinics serving low-income women!
