Last week I found out that my birth control pills are now free, thanks to Obamacare. Today, I found out that I will not have to pay anything for the ultrasound I had the other day.
It’s nice to have insurance, but it also feels good to work for a company that pays for it, and that picks a provider that doesn’t aim to avoid paying for women’s health coverage.
It’s also inspiring to feel like this country is maybe taking baby steps toward recognizing that a woman’s health is an integral part of her being. And of her ability to be able to work, and, therefore, take control of her life and be a full member of society, not someone dependent on the laws made by a room of men telling her what she can and cannot do with her reproductive organs.
I wanted to post “SUCK IT HATERS, MY SLUTTY ABORTION PILLS ARE FREEEEE” on Facebook, but I decided against it. So it goes here instead, more grateful and less confrontational.
Grateful is always better. What a great company to work for that values all their employees equally. Why is that so radical?
I know that when you say “free” you’re really just saying “my plan covered them without a co-pay” but I think it’s important to frame this correctly.
You and or your company are paying for the health coverage and your BC comes with that. It’s not like the BC is some sort of government hand out at the expense of tax payers.
But yay for slutty abortion pills! :P
Ah yes, you’re right. I meant “free” as in “free to me, thanks to my insurance plan that my company pays for.”
Nothing is ever really free. :)
