These services have always been available, through your local county health department. This might be in conjunction with Planned Parenthood too, not sure, but I know that anyone has been able to get BCP’s or whatever, even back in the late 70’s when I was in nursing school. We did time at the local health department as student nurses, did clinicals there again in the early 90’s when I was working on my BSN, and I am pretty sure all this was available.
In fact, when we got married we had to get HIV counseling at the public health department. Free. We could have paid for it but doctors weren’t doing it, sent us to the health department.
This is a huge election year August Surprise. Keep paying your taxes, folks, they are gonna need the money.
Nothing connected with medical services, Rx providing, x rays and lab tests is free. All are subsidized by employers and insureds paying premiums to the health insurance carrier or taxpayers if the non paying patient comes under some government plan. By not charging the woman patient a deductible or co pay, the cost is shifted to others in the plan or the premium payers. “Free” is what slimy politicians call robbing Peter to give Paul a non earned benefit.
I wonder if this is just a coincidence with why we received paperwork asking us for information to shop around for a new health insurance policy yesterday from my husband’s employer. Now they want us to submit health information online so they can “shop around”. SO ANNOYING!
As everyone has pointed out - *FREE* birth control has been available to those who wish to get it through county health services, or other family planning clinics. I’ll bet the BigPharma companies who make these types of medications are singing and dancing today. They can hike the profits as much as they want and not worry about losing their customer base any longer. I will never understand how liberals think that ANYTHING is *Free*, and that making something *Free* will REDUCE costs overall. It signifies a complete lack of intelligence, IMHO. As if these companies will forgo profits? ROFLMAO - wish I had BigPharma stock...
“OMG! Making well woman care more affordable for women is just plain wrong!! How can anyone support this? Take away my freedom to not be able to afford a mammogram or pap smear- how dare you!”

ALL Planned Parenthood’s can now be shut down! There’s no need for any! YEA!!!

Walk up to a liberal chick (you won’t find many hot ones but some clean up OK) and say “OK baby — I am paying the piper, it is time to call the tune! Let’s put my contraception TO WORK!”
If females fall for 0bama's black magic again, they ARE stupid.

The 'U.S. Preventive Services Task Force' has ruled that prostate screening is a waste of money. Sorry guys! It's da womenz vote dat we needs and they'll do WHATEVER WE ORDER THEM TO DO just so long as we promise not to hurt their kids!
Preventive care. Pregnancy is obviously a disease that needs eradicating.
Men can’t get free condoms?
What does Barack have against the AIDS ridden homosexual community?
I guess we are going to find out in November if Obama and the Democrats have pushed so hard and fast to ram their agenda down the throats of Americans that they have finally over estimated the stupidity of at least 51% of the American people
