Women should get free birth control, panel says

[HannahXO]

Meh. Mine doesn't have a generic yet, and I tried 7 pills before I found this one that didn't mess me up too badly. I also went on it for other health reasons long ago. But with my insurance, it's only $10 a month, so I can't complain too much. And if my ovaries weren't so uncooperative I could also get the free pill from student health.

On the whole, however, I think this is a really good idea.

That's good. Just give it time. Usually takes about two to three years for a generic to come out. My problem now is getting my pharmacy to stop sending mine to me. I'm on automatic refill, and I've asked twice to stop refilling them because I am 8 months ahead! They fill them every two weeks.
