What they did was cut the options for birth control severely - not even offering exemptions for medical conditions. So if you can’t take the generic, most common BC, you have to pay out of pocket.
Women have switched from safer BC to more dangerous options (for them, personally) to save money.

Duh.
So now women have the government-approved option or they pay BIG time - even with a prescription.
