It seems big Rx lobbyists really do earn their money:
November 22, 2007 Big Rise in Cost of Birth Control on Campuses By MONICA DAVEYIn health centers at hundreds of colleges and universities around the country, young women are paying sharply higher prices for prescription contraceptives because of a change in federal law.
The increases have meant that some students using popular birth control pills and other products are paying three and four times as much as they did several months ago. The higher prices have also affected about 400 community health centers nationwide used by poor women.
The change is due to a provision in a federal law that ended a practice by which drug manufacturers provided prescription contraception to the health centers at deeply discounted rates. The centers then passed along the savings to students and others.
You'd think the anti-choice people would be up in arms about this.
