Hopefully the lobbying done by Planned Parenthood and others will see the Deficit Reduction Act (whose initial wording was the main culprit in causing this problem) amended to reverse this current price situation.

Early in November, bills were introduced in both houses of Congress to change the language in the Act to enable college health centers and other health care providers to pass on discounts they receive for  the cost of contraceptives to students.

No one seems to know how long this will take to be finalised but the support appears to be strong for the amendment to be passed.
