British Columbia is soon to become the first jurisdiction in Canada to make prescription birth control free to its residents.

What will be covered?

Starting April 1, the province said it will cover the following prescription contraceptives:

  • Oral hormone pills, commonly known as the pill.
  • Subdermal (under-the-skin) injections and implants.
  • Copper and hormonal intrauterine devices, also known as IUDs.
  • Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill.

Free prescription contraception will also be made available to men, including trans men.

Vasectomies have already been covered for years by B.C. MSP, or the Medical Services Plan.

Here's what you need to know

BC for the win.  

Yeah - i'm no fan of the NDP or the like but this is probably a pretty solid idea. Credit where it's due.

Here's a crazy idea. Let's charge a lot for birth control and make diapers and baby formula free...

Well you got the first part right anyway. :)
