    This is good news. Giving women access to contraceptive is a right step towards gender equality.

      Yeah it’s a great move.

      Next step is free medical care for everyone and abolishing private insurance.

    This is actually really great news. Still hoping for one day dental work to be covered too, and perhaps a little more pie-in-the-sky, but liposuction, ahh yeah
