The only issue is, I'm not okay with that if it means that low-income/impoverished people do not have access to birth control without paying out-of-pocket. That and the potential for accidental or uninformed misuse, without a doctor making sure the treatment is taken correctly. Birth control - like ALL medical care - should have little or no out-of-pocket cost. the only things that should cost anything at ALL, and even then maybe less than what it costs now, are things to treat mild mild mild ailments not worth seeing a doctor, like a cold or a headache or gas or indigestion.
