Women should get free birth control, panel says

[angels&angles]

This would be amazing. Without Insurance my seasonique pack (which is for three months) was running me $180! So the choices were pay through the butt, or risk having children (that I can't afford, nor do I want). Ugh. Thank god for Planned Parenthood that would give me free sample packs every three months, and for universal healthcare letting me get back on my parents insurance and buy me a few more years.

I used to take that. Hopefully it will be generic soon, too. Argh...earliest expected date is 2023! Try Lybrel. You take it everyday with no break at all. It now has a generic.

I thought at first this said "try Lysol." Would probably work, and would be super cheap...but umm...

I am also on seasonique and despite paying almost 6000$ for insurance a year (boss pays- thank goodness!!) I have a 2500$ deductible for everything including prescriptions.

I do not miss those days. I used to take Seasonale for several years and it was about the same in price. Luckily, my doctor suggested Mirena and I LOVE it. So much cheaper in the long run.

In regards to BC being readily available, I think this should have happened a long time ago, but it still will not prevent people from being irresponsible.
