I listened to it.

I'd respectfully suggest you've confused what you heard on Rush Limbaugh, or from somebody who listened to Rush Limbaugh, with what Sandra Fluke said. Fluke never mentioned her tuition at all. On March 1, Limbaugh said:

Here the numbers at Georgetown right now. Georgetown law costs $45,000 per year, $20,000 for room and board, sex not included. So tuition and room and board is 60 grand a year and this woman's up at Congress asking for thousands of dollars in birth control pills.

I think you have your head in the sand. "For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy."<\i> What does this say? 40 percent of females at her school, where she pays a high tuition cannot survive financially because they have to pay for a drug they take by choice. Therefore it must be covered under their health care. Of course, they will not want to pay more for their insurance so someone else is paying for it. She carefully adds 'like me" to make it personal so she is clearly creating the image that she is suffering along with the rest of the poor law students. This whole statement read at this faux hearing is typical liberal claptrap. It is filled with falsehoods, half truths and constructed to say exactly what I originally stated. She is saying 'poor me, my tuition is high, I can't pay for this optional drug, so someone else has to.'
