Everyone knows that the health care bill is on the horizon, however, it must be implemented in smaller increments to be effective. This article is exemplifying how Obama is taking steps to change the preventative care for woman. This is going to include giving free birth control to woman across the United States. Teen pregnancy is a rising issue and if the pill is available to woman free of charge it will slow the growth substantially. This would also help remove a cost barrier for woman who could not afford the protection before. Small steps like these are the ones that will eventually lead to a great solution to all the health issues in America.

Giving out free birth control seems like a great way to reduce future costs. But looking at it from a perspective that isn't all about numbers, the theory behind giving free birth control may just slowly start to cover up good morals. Reducing the fear of becoming pregnant will, in most cases, increase the promiscuity of younger and younger teens. This could possibly lead to other problems for individuals around this age, as now there is just a simple pill to allow them to do something that is entirely not meant for their age. Thats just looking at things from just one angle.
