Even if she didn’t count the doctors visit she wasn’t wrong. The exact phrase she used was “can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.” As I pointed out yesterday this was an attempt to place an upper end boundary, and it was actually a tad bit low. The most expensive form of non-emergency birth control pill is Alesse, which has a generic version cost of $99.99 per menstrual cycle, which adds up to $3600 for three years of law school. So even if she wasn’t including the cost of pelvic exams she actually underestimated the possible upper end cost of medication alone.

Excellent point. If a woman suffers from the problems Fluke described, it’s quite logical to believe that she may be prescribed the most expensive medication.

I suffer from bronchial asthma and I am without insurance right now. The okay stuff I use to treat the problem costs about $50 a month. The stuff that works the best costs $250 for a 10-day supply.

Don’t know why that’s such a hard concept for people to grasp.
