Women should get free birth control, panel says

[ASUADPi]

I'm totally for free birth control.

I remember when I started college, my dad had just started a new job with new insurance and my BCP wasn't covered, but Depo was. I started Depo.

A girl I went to high school with works for the AZ Legislature and she actually wrote and got a bill into the house and senate that required ALL forms of birth control for women to be covered by insurances in AZ. She did this because at the time not all birth control was covered but yet for some insurances Viagra was. She had a HUGE problem with that. Bill passed.

When I was on Depo my copay was $75, but I got the shot every 12 weeks. Now I'm on a generic BCP and I pay like $10 bucks a month. Even though it is only like $10 bucks, I'm a poor teacher, that 10 bucks can actually go a long way.

I try to tell so many people this. Teachers can survive on not enough time and barely enough money. Everyone I've tried to explain it to has just rolled their eyes at me.

And, my copay just went up to $12. Thank you NC.
