Women who see their physician two times a year for refills would see an individual cost savings of $85 per year for a total cost savings of $307 million for the population. In addition, approximately 2.1 million women would eliminate their annual gynecological visits altogether for an individual cost savings of $85 per year and a total cost savings of $178.54 million (Louis Harris and Associates 1993). Overall, the savings to women who either stop seeing their physician annually or reduce their visits to once a year would equal about $695.3 million.

Assuming the average wage rate is $12/hour and the average amount of time spent at the doctor's office is 11/2 hours (including travel time), women who currently see their physician four times a year for Oral Contraception refills would save 4.5 hours per year or$54 for a total opportunity cost savings of $44.4 million for the population. Five Women who see their doctors twice a year for refills would save 1.5 hours per year or $18 for a total opportunity cost savings of $64 million for the population. For the population of women who would eliminate their annual visits altogether, a total of 3.15 million additional hours would be spent working for a $37.8 million savings. Overall, the opportunity cost savings to women who either reduce or eliminate their physician visits would equal $147.2 million. (Holly Mead, IWPR/GWU Research Fellow.

SPONSORS of the PROPOSALS

The proposals and techniques have been marked highly cost effective and time saving, but at the same it is a mutual investment of time and money from the public and the government. Of course it is the responsibility of the government to look after the needs of the public, and should support the people belonging from the backward areas, and should also offer the required incentives.
It might be considered the loss of resources of the government in short-term, and but short time investment will help government to save sufficient amount of capital, because this investment will result in the reduction of population, and the government will be able to cater for the needs of its population in effective manner. This aspect can be evaluated by looking into the population growth figures of the countries like China and India, each year the government of these countries invest more than millions of dollars towards population control and awareness campaign, both the countries are equally pessimistic about the development of the required infrastructure in the future years, although the birth rate in under control. At the same time, countries like Sweden and France have little to invest in this regard, and are therefore more peaceful about the prospects of their countries at the moment and in the years to come.
