When is "free" not free, but costly? Check it out...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "A U.S. medical advisory group (Institute of Medicine) recommended providing women free birth control and other preventive health services under the nation's healthcare overhaul."

I can only assume the advisory group is made up of morons, because NOTHING is ever "free". SOMEONE is going to pay for it.

Everything that Obama says will be "free" under ObamaCare is NOT free. In fact, it is actually more expensive, as insurers will charge more for the insurance that covers such things.

The companies that make birth control options are going to get paid. The doctors who prescribe them are going to be paid. And the pharmacist who dispenses them will get paid. They will be paid by the insurance companies, or Medicare - BUT WHO PAYS THE PREMIUMS? We do! And for every $10 of birth control, insurers will increase our premiums by $20. Far from "free".

They are not free. They are only free to those who know how to scam the system. And the rest of us have to pick up the tab.

In most circles, that is called socialism.
