Also, I have seen some have gnarly side effects, such as near constant light bleeding, vomiting and mood issues. All set with that. However, I do think it should be widely available to those who are willing to take drugs to prevent pregnancy.
This would include things which do not involve drugs, such as examinations by physicians or nurse-practitioners or midwives for such things as diaphrams. (Such devices require measurement to be useful, and that requires some sort of examination.)
When my ex-wife wanted one, I was still in the Navy, the military system was prohibited from providing them. My ex-wife had to see her midwife, which we had to pay for. Military insurance would not pay for such a visit.
