Generic EC to hit shelves in August

This is good news for the ladies: Emergency Contraception will be available as a generic (as opposed to Plan B) starting August 24, sold as Next Choice.

This is great news, since getting access to EC in the past has often partly been a financial issue. Depending on where someone purchases it, Plan B costs around $50-$60. It would be great to get some competition out there to reduce costs (and therefore increase access).

Capitalism at its finest, folks.
