Shannon Pettypiece of Bloomberg Television provides some context for the recent national debates about birth control, pointing out that birth control constitutes “big business for big pharma.”
In a recent report, Ms. Pettypiece observed that Americans spent $5 billion last year for birth control. She said the German corporation Bayer gets about $1.5 billion a year from its drugs Yaz and Yasmin.

A number of lawsuits claim that Bayer failed to adequately warn patients of the risk.
