Increasing financial access to contraception for low-income Americans 

Summary

Access to contraception is fundamental to reproductive autonomy and economic mobility for parents and their children. However, substantial upfront out-of-pocket costs for contraception severely limit access for those without health insurance. Though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) eliminated cost-sharing for contraception for those with health insurance, substantial cost-sharing remains for uninsured individuals who seek care through Title X: a national family planning program that offers subsidized, patient-centered reproductive health services for low-income individuals.
