I don't understand what the "during law school" has to do with the statement. Was this prepared testimony, or live? People make mistakes live.
I think she meant the schools' healthcare costs [to students] and she reversed the 2 phrases. Maybe she was really talking about healthcare coverage costs.
Here's another way to look at it:

It reminded me of the last Bush, Clinton, Perot debate when Marisa Hall asked how the "national debt" has personally affected them, but she really was asking about the economy. GHWB missed it and Bill Clinton took enough time to listen to her and he, some people say, won the debate and the election on that single exchange.
Everyone knows the $3,000 cannot be just the cost of contraception, even for 3 years. But $250 a month for 12 months is possibly what the school charges for its student healthcare policy. |
