On August 1, 2012, the Obamacare provision requiring coverage of contraception without co-pays or deductibles goes into effect. The provision will be phased in based on when plan years begin for new health plans. Because university health plans usually start in August, students will be among the first to reap the law’s benefits. At the recent annual Campus Progress conference in Washington, DC, reporters from Campus Progress’s parent organization, the Center for American Progress, asked young Americans about what no-cost coverage of birth control will mean to them. The answers are eye-opening and help give some sense of the enormity of the impact the ACA will have in many people’s lives.
