Isn't it sort of like telling a lie when we use the word free in this context?

Before folks get unsettled, the question is not, repeat NOT about birth control.
I saw this article today

When it happens, the medication will not be free.

It will be paid for by somebody, whether or not they are the ones taking it.

Why not tell the truth-Health Insurance providers will be forced by law to pass through the entire cost of the medication to the people who pay the premiums. Why be misleading about it?

You can bet, by the way, that BC pills will get more expensive the next day, since the manufacturers will have a rigged market.
