Re: Stop barriers to contraceptive access (signatures needed)

Friend, [send a letter to President Biden: Over-the-counter birth control must be covered by insurance–no prescription required.]( [SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION]( The FDA-approved over-the-counter daily oral contraceptive, Opill, is now available in most stores without a prescription! This marks a significant advancement in birth control accessibility. However, insurance coverage may be an issue despite this expanded access, as federal policies do not require plans to cover contraceptives without a prescription. Consumers are concerned about the [price](, creating a huge barrier for folks who aren't able to afford this pill. Insurance must cover this improvement in birth control accessibility, and President Biden can do something about that right now.

Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding insurance coverage without a prescription for over the counter birth control: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, most private health insurance plans must cover all FDA-approved methods of contraception, but they can require a prescription first. [Send a letter to President Biden: Over-the-counter birth control must be covered by insurance–no prescription required.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The Biden administration must make clear that over-the-counter birth control like Opill, purchased without a prescription, must also be fully covered by all insurance plans, including Medicaid and other public insurance plans. Over-the-counter access to birth control pills is not a replacement for insurance coverage of contraceptives. Insurance coverage for all forms of contraception would reduce unnecessary barriers to affordable access, especially for young people and people working to make ends meet. The Biden administration must immediately take action to ensure Opill (and any future over-the-counter birth control!) is fully covered.
