They Just Don't Get It, vol. ???

In yet another (not really very) shocking display of not having a fucking clue about even the most basic of economic principles, CNN puts out a headline that, well, you be the judge:

HHS announces free birth control for women in the U.S.

Someone, somewhere, has at least a few functioning brain cells left, because the headline now says:

HHS OKs birth control with no co-pay

That (HHS) is the US Department of Health and Human Services, for those who don't feel like clicking and/or searching. We cater to the lazy here, after all. Anyhoo, HHS hath, in all infinite wisdom likely stemming from its new-found yet sooper-secrit power granted by Obamacare decided that insurance companies cannot charge a single red cent for birth control to be paid by the insured.

And some mouth-breathing fucktard at CNN read that as "free birth control," and if you don't believe me, click the link and actually read the URL.

TAANSTAAFL, motherfuckers. Believe that. Someone, somewhere, will pay for that shit, and it will most likely be the insured when the rate goes up. Dumbasses.
