anyways just in case you were too young or have no friends with uteruses: I was paying FORTY DOLLARS A MONTH for THE CHEAPEST FORM OF GENERIC HORMONAL BC while covered by GOOD university healthcare. After ACA this dropped to 10 / under 10 depending on coverage.

I'm surprised, because it was ~$10/mo or less at Walmart/Walgreens/CVS back during the Trump Administration when Hobby Lobby was whining that they didn't want to have to pay for birth control.

People had to pay an extra $200/month to specifically insure their uterus, and that care couldn't be added if you were pregnant.

This is where I remind everyone that large swathes of the GOP want to outright ban contraception in general, and hormonal birth control specifically, because they falsely call them "abortifacents". Trump is on board with this.

The ACA is an annoying kludge of half measures but it is a million times better than the current alternative, which is probably forced donation of your kidney to the Musk family now that insurance companies have realized that no one will punish them for evil.
