I don't know about the insurance thing, but I did go to my local health department and got one for free. That is always an avenue to persue.
As far as paying for it out of pocket, it's comprable to paying for birth control. If you pay $20 per pack for hormonal birth control:
12 month supply x $20 per pack = $240 per year
So, after two and a half years, the price of paying for hormones equals the price of the IUD. Except that the IUD is good for ten years (at least mine is), so it's 25% of the price of hormonal birth control over time. That's another great thing about an IUD.
