"The annual cost of unintended pregnancies in Canada amounts to more than $320 million. For every $1 spent on contraception, about $90 will be saved for the province," says @Contracepti_ON Co-Chair Dr. @HavaStarkman@CTVNews#onpoli#reproductiverights

Access to contraception is key to the right to health, achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment, and reducing health care costs. #CoverContraceptiON
The solution is not to waste money on private insurance that duplicates what’s already covered in our public plans, nor is it forcing patients to pay out-of-pocket. #BetterMedicare /end
Bottom line: Canada’s single-payer system keeps costs low and ensures equitable access to care. We need to strengthen our health care system & urgently improve access to care, but we can do that through better coordination in how we deliver care & increased public funding. /14

A 2015 Contraceptive Survey has shown that people with lower household incomes, without higher education or who come
from more remote parts of the country experience challenges affording contraception. #CoverContraception
Significant barriers to affordability of contraception has led to over ~180,700 women in Canada having unintended pregnancy, which has an associated cost of $320M to the health care system. #advocacy#CoverContraceptiON
Advanced care planning is a critical component of our healthcare system that gets very little attention. It is never too early to speak to loved ones about your care wishes and, even better, to document them in writing.
