""It's a tremendous problem for our students because not every student has a platinum card," said Hugh Jessop, executive director of the health center at Indiana University. "

I fail to see a problem at all. Close your legs, problem solved.

[Wolfie]

No problem, as long as the cost of an abortion doesn't go up.

[Scourge of God]

The things the media will gin-up into scandal.

They could learn a lesson from Bill Clinton: go Oral, and no one gets pregnant.

[Pondman88]

Bummer....

[Dont Mention the War]

Screw them.

Oh, wait...

[JimRed]

Too high a cost for birth control really cuts into your beer money! < /sarc >

[rintense]

Wow. I paid $10 back in 1990 at MSU.

[Tanniker Smith]

There, he said, women are paying about $22 per month for prescriptions that cost $10 a few months ago.

So, what, four hours of minimum wage work will pay for a month of playtime?

There, he said, women are paying about $22 per month for prescriptions that cost $10 a few months ago.

$22/month? When I was in college, a lot of women spent that much in a day on makeup.

[freedomfiter2]

Let me see, college tuition goes up 8% per year and we're supposed to feel bad that oral contraception goes up $12 per month.

[cinives]

Geez - so order one less pizza a month. $12 is not the freaking end of the world.

They got plenty of money to drink and diddle, but the taxpayer needs to pick up the tab for the consequences thereof.

"Some of our students have two jobs, have children,"

Hmm, a college student with TWO jobs and children. How does she have TIME for any extra-curriculars?

[Andrew Byler]

These people are whining about $250 a year, or the alternative of abstinence.

[wireman]

Sex on campus???

Frankly, I'm shocked!!!

[MichiganConservative]

I once argued with a college student (moron) about something like this. I told her that college students would have to have some personal responsibility and buy condoms for themselves when MI taxpayer subsidies were removed.

She said it was personal responsibility to go to the free clinic and get free condoms. She could not understand the whole "taxpayer paying for your party" aspect at all.

I wonder how many of the idiots/POS whining about this would think nothing of spending $60 on an Abercrombie and Fitch (or whatever is in this week) t-shirt.

[jagusafr]

Amen! THANK you! Couldn't have said it better myself. A little restraint, a little self-control, a little - I dunno, personal accountability for consequences?

[lastchance]

Wait I thought all that safe sex education meant that any college woman having sex made sure their partner wore a condom. So why the concern about the cost of oral contraceptives?

[Atlas Sneezed]

The real story is that subsidies are declining. Maybe those who are funding the subsidies will be happy.

And the cheapest BC pills, as I understand, can be ordered on the Interenet from overseas.

[goodnesswins]

Wonder what the cost is for treatment of the diseases they contract from sleeping around......

[little jeremiah]

Later MA ping list.
