    <description>For millions of young adults, turning 26 doesn&#039;t just mean adulting harder — it means watching their &#039;free&#039; birth control suddenly carry a price tag they never saw coming.

Here&#039;s what happens when the clock strikes midnight on your parents&#039; insurance plan.</description>

    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.cashforbirthcontrol.com/contraception-coverage-varies-by-state-what-you-pay/</guid>
    <description>Depending on which state you live and work in, your birth control could be completely free or cost you hundreds of dollars a year out of pocket.
