AFP's very own Nicole Kaeding wrote an excellent article on why states should decide against any healthcare exchanges. The end result is limited or no freedom in our own healthcare decisions.

In other words, women dont need help to achieve equality; they just need governments and coercive institutions to get out of their way.
