"women are now sending their birth control bills to the White House"

The Keep Birth Control Copay Free campaign – championed by stars such as Kristen Bell, Kate Walsh, Margaret Cho, Cecily Strong, Gloria Steinem, Sasheer Zamata, Franchesca Ramsey, and Ana Gasteyer – has created a “digital invoice generator,” which not only calculates the cost of birth control in the event that employers abandon their female employees’ contraception coverage, but will also send the bill to the Trump and the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Each invoice generated through the campaign’s tool will also be submitted to the Federal Register as an official comment
opposing the new birth control rules. The comment period on the new rules will end on Dec. 5, 2017.”
