WHAT THE ACTUAL FREAK

at the moment, im uninsured and cant afford birth control

Here's a thought: stop having sex. If you can't afford birth control, you can't afford to be pregnant either.

Why isn't birth control free in the US, that always surprises me.

The same reason Tylenol isn't free. It isn't the responsibility of tax payers to make sure YOU don't end up pregnant the same way it isn't their responsibility to make sure you don't have a headache.
