The Food and Drug Administration approved Thursday the first over-the-counter birth-control pill as concerns about cost, health hazards and correct usage take a back seat to reproductive rights after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
One hurdle: cost. The Affordable Care Act requires all private insurers to cover without copays contraception “prescribed by a health care provider,” but not nonprescription methods, raising concerns that over-the-counter pills would wind up becoming less affordable.
Another major concern centers on medical oversight. Making doctor appointments each year to renew birth control prescriptions may be a hassle, but taking health care providers out of the equation also has its drawbacks.
