[lbo-talk] "Plan B, " emergency contraception, why theright hates it

[tfast]

When they first introduced blan b here you had to got to the doctor and get
perscription.  For which he or she duelly billed the gov 50$ (sort of
sociallized health care).  The gov got tired of paying and let the
pharmacists sell them directly.

The governement can get rational when they have to foot the bill.  I wish
they would do the same thing with antibiotics.
