Save Birth Control: College Students And Low-Income Women Need Your Help

There would be an instant uproar, and you can bet the problem would be fixed, immediately.

Because of a technical error made by Congress in 2005, the cost of birth control in many health centers is rising almost 900 percent from what it was a short time ago. Women who were paying $5 to $10 per month are now paying $40 to $50 for the same prescription. For the college students and low-income women affected by this cost hike, that's no small matter.

Congress has had more than enough time to fix the mistake — needlessly jeopardizing women's health.

We have a bipartisan majority on our side in the Senate, and we are so close to making affordable birth control a reality again for the millions of low-income women and college students who need it.
