Help Rep. Tom Price Find "One Woman" Who Has Trouble Affording Her Birth Control

You wanted 1 woman who had troube affording her birth control!!!!Well here I am!!!! How many more of us out there..Thousands!!!!

Need one??Here I am..thousands more like me!!!

Here's another one! During college I struggled to pay for pretty much everything. Planned Parenthood was the only place to go that offered services (and contraception) on a sliding scale basis.

I'm one!

I'm another one, and I need to take birth control to regulate my hormones due to Polycystic ovary syndrome. Many politicians ignore the fact that some women MUST take birth control. Beyaz is the only birth control that keeps my hormones where I need them to be. It costs me $90 a month. $90 a month!!!! I'm a single woman trying to put myself through college and that is a lot of money for me.

What about women who want it and arent able to have it? I was denied a tubal ligation for 10 years. During that time I had an iud, the pill, the nuvaring, and condoms. A raging infection from the iud, 2 more children, an oopherectomy (just one ovary), and a few abortions later I was finally able to get my tubes tied. Fuck anyone who wants to deny women choices with birth control or access to said birth control.

Sen Ron Johnson doesn't have the right to stomp out my healthcare for HIS so-called religion. I needed the pill to control ovarian cysts and when I was unemployed, Planned Parenthood took care of me.

Thank you Eren! I totally forgot about being denied a tubal ligation for years! I wanted my tubes tied after my second child. But doctors refused to give me one because I was "too young". I was 22 years old married and had 2 children. I knew I didn't want any more but could not find a doctor that would give me one. After the third child my husband had a vasectomy. But then we divorced. I couldn't take birth control because they gave me raging migraine headaches. I remarried and my husband knew I did not want any more children but he did. I couldn't take the pill and at that time IUDs had been taken off the market due to complications. After I had my 4th child I had to get signed consent from my husband to have my tubes tied. Like I was his breed stock! I say fuck all of you that tell me how old I have to be to have a tubal, or what kind of options I have available to me!

I certainly wish someone offered to pay for my vasectomy back in 1998. I hope the republicans pay dearly at the ballot box come November. Come one women, turn out like you never turned out before and turnout for Democrats.

I remember when I was a child my father telling my mother it was her duty while she quietly cried. Seven daughters later, he still had no son.

You want ONE woman? Well, I'll give you TWO-me and my sister! I had to take the pill to control severe menstrual symptoms such as heavy bleeding and crippling cramps, and I've had to pay out-of-pocket because of having no insurance as well as having to pay out-of-pocket when the insurance I had through my job refused to pay for my contraception because I refused to tell them WHY I needed it (I say whether it's for medical reasons or for contraception reasons SHOULD NOT matter!). Then you get my sister, who opted to remain childfree. The hoops she had to jump through to get long-term contraception such as an IUD were INSANE! Why should women not be allowed to decide not to have kids if they don't want them?

OUR bodies, OUR lives, OUR right to affordable health care, including contraception coverage! Birth control is NOT cheap!

MEN SHOULD NOT BE CONTROLLING WHAT WOMEN NEED!!! I am horrified with reading the stories of women that wanted their tubes tied and they were denied! Hearing from Mark, needing help with the cost of a vasectomy puts another spin on this, too! Birth control expense isn't necessarily just for women!
My daughter, who has a low paying job, finds it hard paying for birth control!
There are THOUSANDS out there in the same boat!! Not EVERYONE makes big money or has insurance! It's almost like it's a thing of the past! Many jobs are part time and you don't get benefits.
The shape this country is in is DEPLORABLE.
Get some women testifying, for crying out loud! Get rid of the old men, with controlling values!

I am one who struggled to pay for birth control and that was while my husband was in the service! He was an e-4, The equivalent of a Corporal, and was paid so little we qualified for WIC which is state aid for milk and cereal for those below poverty level! It was a struggle every month to afford birth control, many months my parents had to help us just to get by. After the birth of our second child the cost was just so high that we made the decision to make things permanent because oddly enough our insurance would pay for me to have a tubal ligation. I don't think it was right that we were put into that position.

I am one who is not able to get birth control to help regulate my periods and help control my ovarian cysts! I was told at 22 after having my daughter (my second child) that I would DIE if I tried to have any more children but yet they wouldn't tie my tubes because I was 'too young' and 'still in my reproductive years'......yea..try and figure THAT one out. I finally moved to an area where Planned Parenthood was within walking distance and managed to get on the depo shot for a year..I stopped taking it due to us moving. My period had stopped while I was on the depo and when I stopped taking it, it came back with a vengeance and had caused the cysts. Well without health insurance, I have been unable to go see a doctor to get me back on birth control. I ended up getting pregnant again (with my current husband) and had a miscarriage. Thank goodness the doctor that I saw at the ER, after me telling him my story, set me up for emergency medicaid and did my tubal ligation. This was 10 years ago. It helped with my cysts for most of that time, but over the last year or so, they have started being extremely painful again. Went to social services to ask if I could get on medicaid so i could get birth control and got told 'sorry your husband makes too much (like $20 over the max), you aren't disabled, and you can't be on the type that offers family planning because its called family PLANNING and you're fixed so...sorry!" ....so this representative can kiss my ass if he thinks ALL women can get birth control!
