This article from the AP explores why birth control at university clinics for students has become so much more expensive.
‘’It’s terrible, because these are students who are working very hard to pay for their tuition and books at a time when tuition costs are edging up as well,'’ said Linda Lekawski, director of the university health center at Texas A&M, where the old price for birth control pills of about $15 per month is expected to triple. ‘’This is one thing they’ve been able to benefit from for years.'’
I remember when it was just plain old embaressment that kept women (and men) from investigating their birth control options with a trip to the college clinic.
