The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced sweeping new guidelines for women's health care which will change everything from distribution of birth control pills to administration of breast exams -- and will mean insured women will no longer pay anything out of their own pocket.
Beginning Aug. 1, 2012, all private insurance plans will be required to cover women's preventive services without a co-pay or deductible. The move is intended to help women have the chance to stop health problems before they start.

Oh, and some of those funds will be used to build nuclear weapons aimed at Canada.
Canada's close, so you don't have to spend spend spend to get those warheads here.

"We know that half of women, according to studies, forego or delay preventive care because they can't afford it and under the affordable care act that all changes,"
This assumes that you have health insurance, doesn't it? Or am I reading this wrongly?
If you don't have health insurance nothing will change.
Hah hah O'Reilly is using his own experience as a guide.
Yes, it's about what insurance covers, not a guarantee for individual women.
Does it cover loofah replacements?

No.
W/v must know it's summer cuz it warns you not to get a "sunbern."
Quite the departure from the 'shit on women' attitude that seems to stink up all of history.
