Immigration News: Cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program

5/29/2012

 
The federal government is scaling back temporary health care coverage for refugees and refugee claimants. The government claims that these changes are aimed at reducing “extra” healthcare coverage supposedly provided to refugee claimants, compared with what Canadians receive.
Please refer to the Table below for a breakdown of some of the impacts of the proposed    changes.

Health care is extremely important because without health care it is not possible to remain healthy because we all need regular check ups from out doctors

The Federal government has indeed taken right steps by taking back the health care coverage given to the refugees as the Canadians didnot recieve the same coverage. I would rather suggest that the health coverage should be given to both the refugees as well as the Canadians.

Thank you for sharing the immigration news. I too agree with that these cuts will make things more difficult for Canadians in accessing the health care. The facts that you have shared is really something to worry about. Hope the cuts will be removed.
