As it essentially is in Canada. Interestingly in Canada, birth control is not a covered item, as is the case with most prescriptions (unless you are over 65). Abortion is however covered in Canada by the government. If you are under 65 and want your medicine covered (the pill) you need private insurance that covers that. The one caveat is that generally prescriptions in Canada are a fraction of US prices so the pill is roughly $12-15 per month from social services providers.

The pill is frequently (if not always) covered by private insurance provided by employers in Canada.

Edit: woops, I assumed you meant ‘individual’ insurance by private but I think I misread you
