Restore Affordable Birth Control
College campuses and health clinics across the country are experiencing a birth control pricing crisis. An unintended effect of the Deficit Reduction Act has barred health clinics and college health centers from purchasing birth control from drug companies at a highly discounted cost. Patients currently seeking birth control at these facilities have seen birth control prices increase from an average of 5 dollars to nearly 50 dollars per month. The Prevention Through Affordable Access Act has been introduced to close this loop-hole and decrease these sky-rocketing prices with no additional cost to tax-payers.
NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland's is currently trying to restore affordable birth control for students and low-income women around the country and you can help! Be sure to thank Senator Mikulski and Senator Cardin for cosponsoring the Prevention Through Affordable Access Act and encourage them to use their efforts and leadership to pass this legislation in a timely manner. Also a special thanks to Rep. Ruppersberger, Rep. Sarbanes, Rep. Van Hollen, Rep. Cummings and Rep. Wynn for cosponsoring this legislation. Urge Rep. Hoyer, Rep. Gilchrest and Rep. Bartlett to support this important legislation! Click here to take action!
