We’ve talked a lot about birth control on this podcast before – how different methods work, what to think about when choosing birth control, how new technology is changing the landscape. But it's one thing to know how birth control works and how to choose the best method, and it's another thing entirely to actually have affordable, consistent access  to the full range of modern contraceptive methods.

On this episode, UW Ob-Gyn Department Chair Dr. Laurel Rice provides an overview of the benefits of birth control, and discusses why she is a passionate advocate for universal contraceptive coverage.
