Birth Control out of the Navy
My H just got out of the Navy and we moved back home. However right now he is going back to school and I am starting work next week. So we will not be eligible for Insurance for a couple more months and my BC prescription is up at the end of January. What can I do? Or where can I go to get a prescription? TIA

Why in the world would you think that insurance you don't have would pay something for you?
Call to get your prescription transferred, and you should at a minimum be able to pay OOP if it's still active. PP usually doesn't accept scripts from outside, but walgreens, cvs, target, etc do. If it's out of date, go to PP for the exam and new script.
You don't even need an exam to get a script from pp. you can sign a waiver, so unless she needs a physical she can just go get it (of course she'll have to meet with the dr/nurse)

If her husband is a student, she may be able to get an exam under his student insurance.
Actually...
That's pretty much what you said.
The way you worded it just sounded like you were trying to pull a fast one. Not having insurance sucks, but there are lots of options to find low-cost birth control, you just need to research.
