How to Get FREE Birth Control NOW

published 4 October 2017

There's been a lot of talk about the Affordable Care Act (or "Obamacare," to which it's been more commonly referred), and for good reason — it's a dramatic restructuring of our healthcare system to make most services vastly more affordable. One such method: birth control. Under the ACA, the full range of FDA-approved prescription birth control methods (the pill, the shot, the ring, IUDs, etc.) must be covered by every insurance plan, and without a co-pay. However, some plans may still require a co-pay for certain brands, so be sure to check with your insurance company.
