Seems like a click bait-y title implying reduction of coverage for birth control. Manitoba already covers the costs of birth control, so the federal funding will probably be reallocated to another type of medication

Thanks for the explanation! I did not know that Manitoba already provides this coverage.

Honestly, I think the headline was just written under the assumption that all readers know the MB government has already rolled out that coverage.
