fwiw, i think that contraceptives should be covered by pharmacare and i would consider separating contraceptive coverage from more general coverage to be a cynical ploy, reflective of the kind of divisive identity politics that is wracking havoc on the fake left, right now.

as it is, the existing bc formulary is fairly thin:

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/health-drug-coverage/pharmacare/palliative-formulary.pdf

so, i would call on the bc ndp to explain why they are only calling for contraceptive coverage, rather than a more broad-based drug plan - and ask voters to think that through, as well.

the green party generally calls for broad coverage. i don't know the details regarding the platform in bc, but i'd suspect it's probably a far better proposal than that being presented by the ndp.
