Many women worried about losing birth control coverage under Trump administration

((I THINK THAT PAYING FOR BIRTH
CONTROL WOULD DEFINITELY BE A
SET BACK ESPECIALLY BEING A
COLLEGE STUDENT.))
MORE WOMEN ARE RUSHING TO GET
FREE BIRTH CONTROL ACROSS THE
COUNRY. MANY ARE WORRIED THEY'LL
LOSE IT ONCE PRESIDENT TRUMP
REPEALS THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
NEWS 4'S ANGELA CHRISTOFOROS
WENT TO A LOCAL PLANNED
PARENTHOOD TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
WOMEN'S CONCERNS. ANGELA.
CHRISTY CURRENTLY THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT GUARANTEES FREE BIRTH
CONTROL TO MOST WOMEN - BUT THAT
COULD ALL CHANGE ONCE PRESIDENT
TRUMP FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH THIS
PLANS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE IT.
SOME WOMEN ARE EVEN CONSIDERING
SWITCHING TO IUD'S INSTEAD, SO
THEY CAN HAVE BIRTH CONTROL
COVERAGE FOR LONGER.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE
SEEN A DRASTIC INCREASE IN THE
DEMAND FOR IUDS.
((NATIONALLY THERE HAS BEEN AN
INCREASE ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER
THE ELECTION RELATED TO PEOPLE
GETTING IUDS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT. WE DIDN'T REALLY SEE THAT
LOCALLY BUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING
IS A LOT OF PEOPLE CONFUSE AND
LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO COME

((WITH YOUNGER WOMEN NOWADAYS WE
ARE PUTTING OUR CAREERS FIRST
AND STARTING FAMILIES LATER ON
SO HAVING A BIRTH CONTROL
METHOD THAT WOULD LAST 4 OR 5

I'D CONSIDER.)) MICHELLE CASEY,
THE CEO AND PRESIDENT OF PLANNED
PARENTHOOD OF CENTRAL AND
WESTERN NEW YORK, SAYS THOUGH
THE IUD CAN LAST FOR UP TO 4
YEARS- IT DOES COME AT A STEEP
COST- AT LEAST ON THE SURFACE.
((THEY'RE PRETTY EXPENSIVE
RANGING ANYWHERE FROM $600 TO
$1000 BUT IF YOU COMPARE THAT
OVER THE TIME PERIOD THAT IT
LASTS, IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THAT
EXPENSIVE IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE
COST EFFECTIVE AND IT'S THE MOST
EFFECTIVE KIND OF BIRTH CONTROL
THAT YOU CAN USE.)) PRESIDENT
TRUMP DOES PLAN TO KEEP
PARTS OF OBAMACARE, BUT AT THIS
POINT IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW IT WILL
AFFECT BIRTH CONTROL. GOVERNOR
CUOMO RECENTLY PUT FORTH
REGULATIONS TO REQUIRE HEALTH
INSURANCE COMPANIES TO COVER
MOST FORMS OF CONTRACEPTION AT
NO COST TO WOMEN.
ON SUNDAY 200 WOMEN FROM WESTERN
NEW YORK WILL BE HEADED TO
ALBANY FOR THE DAY OF ACTION
RALLY ON MONDAY. THEY PLAN TO
