...rise in prices is the result of a national law that recently went into effect: the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act. The measure removes incentives for pharmaceutical companies to provide contraception to university health centers and low-income community clinics at sharply discounted prices. Removing this incentive caused drug companies to begin selling the contraceptives at open market prices, and forced university and community health centers to either pass the increase in cost on to patients or stop carrying prescription contraception altogether.

...last year, federal law enabled pharmaceutical companies to supply prescription contraceptives to university health centers and low-income community clinics at sharply discounted rates. These savings were conveyed to students and others in the form of lower contraceptive prices. But a 2005 federal law eliminated such discounts by forcing drug manufacturers to pay higher fees to include these medicines under Medicaid, the government-subsidized health plan.

Money even flows to tobacco giant Philip Morris, the oil behemoth Shell and even the airline Air France-KLM. British sugar giant Tate & Lyle alone received more than $443 million over a two-year period. TIME has recently chronicled similar patterns in U.S. farm subsidies...
