(And maybe men..no judgement) Did you know..in 2012 your percription will be free! Under the affordable care act, insurance companies will be required to pay for it!

    Mine is only 7.50 because she put me generic. But I heard some people have to pay 30 plus. Insane!

    wellll...it's not free. Someone's still paying for it somewhere, maybe with higher premiums. But still...it's good news for some women.

    Awesome!! Although I'm about to quit my BC and switch to the Fertility Awareness Method... but good news for the ladies (and their partners/families!!) that will benefit from it. :smile:

    Side note-- Will this only benefit women who have insurance, though? The real need for BC assistance is with low-income populations, many of whom are also uninsured...

    fact you may not have known until now....

    many insurance companies covered "Viagra" and other ED medications, but carved out contraception, abortion, and/or maternity coverage LONG before anyone bothered to raise hell about it. pun not necessarily intended, but i hope that sticks in your head.
