Republicans Are Coming for Your Free Birth Control

In the effort to dismantle Obamacare, women's health takes a hit.

In 2012, a women's preventative health care provision within the Affordable Care Act went into effect making birth control free for women with insurance. When it was first rolled out, an estimated 26.9 million women benefited. If the mandate is struck down, it will leave 55 million women without no-copay birth control.

There is another method I would suggest to Jessica but it’s impolite.

Garza was a Cub a few years ago.

What does it cost to keep your legs closed?

Well... if you are Katie Couric, or Megyn Kelly, it can cost you your job.

[UCANSEE2]

Why did the government ever get into their pants?

It works like this. The Feds create a bill that says BC Pills are free for women with insurance. The Feds FUND the COPAY part (meaning you pay it), and the manufacturer raises the cost of the pills, and the insurance companies raise everyone's rates to cover for the higher initial cost.

All the 'cronies' make MORE PROFIT. YOU pay for it all.

Wait - what - you have to have insurance?

THAT is part of the Affordable Care Act. YOU must PAY for insurance, whether you need it, or want it (and regardless to whether you actually get any health care without paying the whole bill yourself), or you will be fined and could be jailed.

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

On the Seventh Day God rested. After that, everything went to hell.

I think I can guess the method.

Garza’s a good pitcher.

I hope the Republicans don’t stop there. They need to eliminate free sex change surgery too.
