Duh - if they are paying for their insurance, it has not saved them anything.

Disagree, a little. If they get "subsidies", both male and female taxpayers pay for those. So, it's saved them (as women) some, because some of it, for those who are subsidized, is paid by men.

I've been noticing how much of the Dem programs are robbing Peter to pay Paul. The benefits are promoted and publicized as if they are just and universal; actually, they are an electorally focused bribe. Everyone pays.

I appreciate the free birth control, but I have to ask why my pills should be free but not my dad's blood pressure medicine or my mom's cholesterol medicine or my nephews asthma medicine? Aren't those more important to life and health than my prescription is?

Danielle is too dumb to understand basic economics. The only ways that women would have saved money would be if they reduced usage or the companies lowered the price. What actually happened is that the costs were subsidized by other men and women. There were NO net savings.

Someone is still paying for it...

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, or a free pill.

Except that 2013 isn’t post-Obamacare. 2014 is post-Obamacare.

“While the [Affordable Care Act] preventive service requirements specify that FDA-approved contraception is a covered benefit....”

So...

Yes.

You’re paying for it.

And so is everybody else.
