As per news report of Rt.com, the expansion of the program will come at a cost of 21 million euro ($24.8mn) a year, Olivier Veran said on Thursday as the minister was announcing the policy change. Speaking to France 2 television, he said the extra spending was necessary due to a decline in use of birth control among young women once they reach an age where it is no longer paid-for by the state. "It is unbearable that women cannot protect themselves, cannot have access to contraception that they would otherwise choose, because it is too expensive," he said. He added that the threshold age of 25 was picked because, in France, women have usually become financially independent by that age.
