Ontario NDP pledges free prescription birth control if elected in June
The Ontario NDP is promising to cover all prescription contraception under OHIP if it is elected to form government in June.
“People should not have to shell out $30 a month, every month for years on end, for birth control,” Party Leader Andrea Horwath said in a statement. “And no one who wants contraception should go without because it’s just not in the monthly budget.”
The New Democrats say they could implement free birth control “within weeks” of a victory in June.
A worthwhile initiative.
