Canada is set to make contraception free for women, as part of a major health care reform. The government will pay for widely-used contraceptive methods, such as IUDs, contraceptive pills, hormonal implants, and the day after pill, for the nine million Canadian women of reproductive age. This announcement marks the first part of a bill unveiled in February, which, once completed, will mark the biggest expansion of Canada's publicly funded health care system in decades. The new regime will also cover the cost of diabetes medication for some 3.7 million Canadians.
