Our university health center found itself in this pinch earlier this year because the student health plan didn't cover BC and the generics of popular drugs (like OrthoTriCyclen) were around $20. The drug companies are really invested in having name brand loyalty, though, so if I switched to Lo, I could get that for $9 if I bought 3 months+. I would have rather not switched brands, but it was worth it on a TA's salary. If I had really wanted to keep taking a full hormone triphasic, though, planned parenthood probably could have reduced the costs to somewhere under $20, but possibly not as low as $9.
