Involvement Opportunities
Birth Control Pill Pricing Legislative Advocacy
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which went into effect earlier
this year, forced college health centers across the country to raise
their prices for birth control pills since discounts were no longer
available to them. Wesleyan was affected as well, with prices
increasing from $10 per pack to $20. If you wish to let your voice
