“OTC coverage is key to equitable access and in the case of contraceptive care, it is also a reproductive justice issue. We know that barriers to contraception fall harder on communities that experience systemic inequities due to structural racism, bias, and other forms of oppression, and it is imperative that policies are designed to break down these barriers, not uphold them.”

“We urge the Administration to require insurance coverage of OTC contraception without a prescription requirement and without cost sharing. This is a vitally important path to ensuring the accessibility of Opill, particularly for those who face the most barriers to accessing reproductive health care.”
