Save Birth Control Now!

Birth Control IS Basic Healthcare

What would you do if your doctor prescribed medication necessary for your basic health, but you couldn't afford the medication at your local health center?  

Many Montana women could see the price for a package of birth control go from $20 to as much as $50.  This is absolutely outrageous.

Thousands of Montana's college women, low income women, and rural women are drastically affected by the soaring cost of birth control, which has risen in many cases 900% this year due to a mistake Congress made last year. Until now, Congress has dragged their feet and not acted to fix the problem. But in Montana we are lucky to be able to say:

Thank You!

Senators Tester and Baucus have both signed on to S.2347 which restores birth control pricing and helps keep costs low for women.  Send a short letter of thanks to them for taking a stand for women in Montana!
