I don't. It's not like that makes the cost go away, it just rolls it into


the premium, and arguably at an inflated price since it's removed from the buyer's decision. (not to mention all OCare did was take away the co-pay portion where already covered) And I would add I think the "it's cheaper than a pregnancy" argument is mostly BS since if that were true, insurance Cos. would have done that all along in their own best interest wrt profits.

I've actually seen valid arguments that the best/cheapest approach would be to make them O-T-C. These are known drugs, and the "risk" (OD, etc.) of their being abused/dangerous is virtually nil. So let manufacturers compete against each other, and alternatives like condoms, on price directly with the consumer, and you will likely see lower costs than what you see insurance Cos. paying on our behalf now. In addition you eliminate the need/cost for a prescription, so that makes it even more "readily accessible".

Amazing that some people still think what we pay for those is just the $10 or $0 co-pay.
