Advocates seek funding for free contraception in next B.C. budget
The promise was made again in Health Minister Adrian Dix’s original 2020 mandate letter, and is repeated in a new mandate released this week.
A study conducted in 2010 estimates that paying for prescription contraception would save the B.C. government about $95 million a year through reductions in abortions, prenatal visits and social supports. “And not only that, but what other research has indicated is that when cost is removed as a barrier, people reach for more reliable forms of contraception.”While condoms could be easily found for little or no cost, and vasectomies were covered under the medical services plan, prescription contraception was not covered, the party said at the time.
