| They do not expect anti biotics and other medical interventions to be free? What is the difference?? I understand birth-control is a very valuable tool just like eating healthy, exercising is also for a healthy lifestyle butthere is not an expectation from employers to pay for healthy meals, pay for your gym membership. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | When I was on it, it was totally out of pocket. The generics were less than $15/month. Has that changed because of insurance coverage? It's been 10 years since I took anything. |

With my insurance I paid $60 for one month of Lo Estren BC Pill. I even get the generic form of this pill and still paid $60 for one month. |

| Not to sound snarky but my mother’s heart medication is $180/month, I truly do not understand why it is expected to be free. It has become a false talking point that it is a war on women.

Location: Kansas | I get the depo, and have paid for it for the past 4 years now out of pocket, granted I have insurance which covers so much. I'm one that doesn't believe it shouldn't be free....but then again, look at some that "breed" and think they should have been on BC in the first place smh |

Yes And they still cover birth control for women, companies can no longer be forced to pay for it 100%, no longer free you have to pay your co-pay.
Viagra to my knowledge was never free, I don’t know of any medication for men the companies were forced to pay 100% of. |

Location: sunny california | umm it is basically math. i am not for freebies but happy accidents are costing us a fortune. Yes everyone SHOULD be responsible, and it is not like it costs a million dollars a month, but do you really want people who can not even afford birth control to have children? |

Great points which is why it is available at many clinics free or very low cost for those who can’t afford it. |

| I think if they’re going to “give” something out it should be the uterine implants...and not just because I had to pay out the ass for it (but by the time you do the math over it’s lifespan it’s on par if not cheaper).
Because it’s fool proof. Not 100% fool proof but it takes the user error out of it.

Location: Florida | Men get free Viagra, abortion is being restricted, medicare and well baby care are going away, and now birth control cost so much. Who is going to deal with these unwanted kids? The answer is they are going to be in school with your children, beating them up, hitting the teacher, acting out so your kid can't learn. and then we get to pay for them to be in prison. I think birth control is a better option.

Wow, first off Viagra is only free if you have no income, same for birth control. Can you get more insulting that all unwanted kids are going to grow
up violent juvies hitting their teachers, do you know how many people you just insulted???? I am no way advocating for unwanted births but there are plenty of unplanned pregnancies with happy endings and unfortunately plenty of planned pregnancies with unhappy endings for the children. Birth control is a great option, is a $15 or $ 20 copay going to stop most from utilizing it? The mandate does not stop access to it, it does stop others having to pay 100% of someone else’s birth control. |

| I am employed with insurance and my birth control is free.
I can't say that I have any expectations of what it should cost. But the price is right for now.

| I work full time and have health and dental insurance for my husband and I through my employer. I pay around $800/month for our insurance, and my birth control is free. I'm not sure why, but right now I'm not complaining. I do not expect it to be free! |

| If employers choose to cover it 100%, that is great, I just don’t think they should be forced to. |

Actually I have no idea what you are talking about, but I am speaking from my experience with supporting public school teachers. My most recent case (2 days ago) was a new first grader from out of state who picked up a small white board and broke it over another child's head for no reason. When his teacher was trying to get down and talk to him he right crossed her in the face. Mother was called and didn't care.
Work with this day in and day out, year in and year out, seeing the result of negleted, unwanted children and you will get quite jaded too. |
