Naillon, 33, would have to continue to pay a share of the cost of her pills, and the plan wouldn’t pay if she wanted to switch to an intrauterine device either.

“Even though my doctor would like to do a physical and run labs, I can’t afford to have those services,” she says.

She could pay for a physical and some labs for the cost of 2 dinners out and a couple of pedicures

$35 a month less than 1/4 of what my kids’ meds cost

Sweetheart, I don't want to pay for your freakin' birth control pills. If your violin teaching job doesn't pay enough for you to buy them, then its time for you to find a better paying job.
