The thing I really wish I had more coverage on is prescriptions. My old insurance made me pay a copay of $35 for my birth control, but with the new one, I have to pay for $200 worth of any prescription before they'll even start covering PART of it. And since NuvaRing costs around $80 per ring, that just seems like the biggest waste of money ever. I'd have to buy 3 rings full price and then I will pay $35. Once 2010 is over I will have to start all over again with the $200. Ugh.
Plus, living in a super conservative state does not help because the Planned Parenthood here gets shit for funding. But the fact that they can even CHARGE $80 for 3 weeks of birth control is... unreal to me. How many women want to be on NuvaRing for whatever reason but can't because it's too expensive? It's sad.
