Women should get free birth control, panel says

[nittanygirl]

I wish could be free.
I pay $20 a month bc I'm can't use my insurance for it and sometimes, being still in school with only a part time job, it gets to be too expensive for me and I have to cut out some of my groceries, etc to afford it. Personally, I think my boyfriend (long-term, 5 years) should pitch in every now and then since it's not just me who is not ready for a baby (& he has a full-time job and I don't)

Although I know people who pay more, so I can't complain too much.

Have you discussed that with him? I would certainly hope that financial burden shouldn't fall only one partner, especially in a very long term relationship. Take turns every other month maybe?

I have always thought it should be free. As noted above, it's much more cost effective to cover birth control than to pay for a child for a lifetime!
