	Description:		The contraceptive pill. Its job is to stop unwanted pregnancies. But did you know there's a huge variety of options for what brand and type of pill you can take? But when you look at the list of oral contraceptives on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme there's quite a few of those available in Australia not on it, in fact, most of the contraceptive pills available here in Australia are not on the PBS. In this episode of The Quicky, we find out why some contraceptive pills have been allowed on the list, and why the new generation of the pill are not, and whether that will be changing anytime soon.
