Currently, in Ontario, OHIP does not cover contraception costs, only vasectomies. In 2018, Doug Ford further limited OHIP coverage for prescriptions including birth control for people under 25.

Ontario's New Democrats believe in universal access to all prescription contraception. That includes emergency birth control like Plan B, the pill, intrauterine devices (IUD), implants, shots, patches or rings.

Publicly funding contraception is a crucial step to empowering all Canadian women, trans men and other gender non-conforming persons. Procedures such as vasectomies are already (rightfully) publicly funded. Contraception for people's with uteruses should be too.
