    unless you go on the pill in which case you don't have to have a period if you keep taking it. and the pill is free. i was quite shocked to discover that contraception prescribed is free(including morning after) given the amount of money i spend on prescriptions for a condition that is not my choice (asthma).


    Of course, the pill. I hadn't considered that. Good idea, I think one only has to menstruate twice a year for health? Not sure though.

    Contraception being free at point of use in theory gives us choice, as women and men...not the pill perhaps...about work career etc and is presumable worth something to the economy...I'd never thought of it as a female friendly MSE device! How smart of you to make the connection. :)

    Insurance companies will use this as just another excuse to increase their margins. Like most people I believe men will not see any reduction at all.
    I think the issue is we should come out of the Eu they are making laws up for this country that are simply not working and are causing more stress each time they make one for the citizens of this country we pay more in than we get out and we are being penalised in every way
