As such, there is a case to be made that contraception should be part of universality in health-care coverage.
There’s even the argument — ironically, a rather conservative-minded one — that we should recognize the direct cost savings associated with free birth control. The cost of terminating a pregnancy is about $2,200, while a live birth without complications is about $8,000, Thakkar said. But it’s also here where the contraception conversation gets very uncomfortable for conservatives … and especially uncomfortable for Merriman of late.because one province is looking at one program doesn’t mean that all provinces are going to do that,” Merriman said earlier this month. “We’re satisfied with the programs we have right now.”Article content
A universal contraception program in Saskatchewan similar to B.C.’s would likely cost $25 million annually. Admittedly, this is no minor cost and many conservatives would couple it with the notion that contraception should be seen as a matter of personal responsibility that shouldn’t be paid for by the state.
