great work @enethery.bsky.social 🎉 @drlschummers.bsky.social 🎉

BC's contraception coverage works and fills critical access gaps. #canada #canadasky #reprosky www.am1150.ca/85719/news/h...

The evidence is clear: National pharmacare for contraception can’t wait theconversation.com/the-evidence...

B.C. made prescription contraception free in 2023, and UBC researchers show patient costs dropped 83% within two years. Young adults saw the biggest gains. Read more ⤵️ news.ubc.ca/2026/06/free...

Spoke French on @iciradiocanada.bsky.social ! BC's free contraception policy worked: costs dropped, IUD/implant use jumped, young adults benefitted most. Canada's patchwork drug coverage leaves gaps. 3 provinces + 1 territory isn't enough. #canada #reprosky ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/226...

Women’s Health: Free contraception in BC makes a difference! @drlschummers.bsky.social @sogc.org @wvnorman.bsky.social @ubcmedicine.bsky.social #canada #canadasky #reprosky #contraception globalnews.ca/video/118751...

Also - check out coverage of this study on B.C.'s contraception coverage program in the news today on #cbcradio @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social !

BC's free prescription contraception coverage sharply reduced what patients pay, with the largest financial gains for people in their 20s. Contraception coverage shouldnt depend on your province. #canada #reprosky #episky #canada #contraception #pharmacare jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Public policy that works and improves reproductive health and equity. Thrilled to have led this paper and to help keep the momentum alive for federal contraception coverage through national pharmacare. #canada #reprosky #episky #canada #contraception #pharmacare

🔍 New BC study: 66% of pharmacies could dispense mifepristone (abortion pill) within 3 days + 12% offered a referral. But 23% did neither, which leaves patients to find care on their own. 📍Improving pharmacy referrals would improve access. ja.ma/3Li75MS #ReproSky #medicationabortion #PublicHealth

A cross-sectional survey in British Columbia, Canada, found 99% of reproductive-aged females lived within a 15-minute drive of a mifepristone-dispensing pharmacy, though 23% of pharmacies neither dispensed within 3 days nor provided a valid referral. ja.ma/3Li75MS

"Canada stands at a crossroads on pharmacare. Will we build a program that guarantees medication for all, or one that protects the profits of private insurers? - @drlschummers.bsky.social, Frédérique Chabot, @enethery.bsky.social & Amanda Black #pharmacare #cdnpoli

Here is what we stand to lose if we let private insurers write Canada’s pharmacare plan www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... @drlschummers.bsky.social @enethery.bsky.social @thestar.com More news → CanadaHealthwatch.ca 🍁

Contraception users across Canada deserve access to free contraception. Now is the time to implement national #pharmacare for #contraception in all provinces (not just BC, Manitoba, PEI and the Yukon)! #cdnpoli #reprosky #canadasky theconversation.com/the-evidence...

Why is universal, first-dollar coverage for birth control so important? New @bmj.com study in British Columbia finds that costs were a barrier to using the most effective forms of contraception. This has major implications for self-determination, cost of living, health and health care.

Hoping for a soft landing from the ashes of epitwitter. Tx for the invite code @doccourtney.bsky.social !
