The best things in life! They are free. And while I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t consider a pap smear among the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153best things in life,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reproductive health for women in general is a pretty great thing. And now a bunch of the stuff I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been paying for since I became a real lady are all FREE. (Well, nominally, at least<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201dtrue change takes time, apparently, even after it is a law upheld by the Supreme Court. For now: Women with new indie insurance plans get co-pay-free birth control; the rest of us have to wait another year until a grandfather clause expires.

BUT LET’S JUST GO WITH IT, SHALL WE?<\/p>\n

But today I am proud, and grateful and \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 really shocked. Not that it should\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken this long. My body is and has been a wonderland for the entirety of my life, but now at least the government is recognizing the costs it take to keep it that way. <\/p>\n
