If having nasty side effects and potential for misuse were grounds for any drug that qualified being behind the counter, I'd be all for it. But Plan B gets singled out with a bogus requirement, and that I object to. Also, I thought you could get OTC drugs with a perspecrption under health care plans, e.g. the horse-pill version of ibuprophen I've gotten on occation? Or is it just special formulations? I mean, if women can't afford this out of pocket and can't get it as a perscription they'll end up charging the HMOs a lot more money by having abortions or pregnancies (and in this state at least everyone will have an HMO in a little while), and HMOs are generally slightly better sighted than that (generally and only slightly).
