Also note, that this won't actually be free.
The cost will be rolled into the monthly premiums of both people who need and don't need BC.
This is part of the reason why insurance costs so much.
Given the cost of contraception, the premium increases will be minuscule. And given the attitudes of most people in this thread about reproductive choices (and Americans in general), I think most of us would gladly shoulder that small, additional cost to ensure that everyone can have access to birth control.
The government should have done this a long time ago.
