Well, it's "free" under insurance, yes. The bigger thing is that it's covered under every insurance and I think Medicaid, the public assistance healthcare. Not that it's all that expensive when a birth is like, tens of thousands of dollars sometimes.

I've never met anyone who paid for it, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in law that you had to cover it (while shit like birth control is still debated).
