    1. That number should infuriate everyone. 1 Billion is an outrageous amount and that’s just healthcare. Now add in accommodations and other benefits

      “Why aren’t people having kids?”

      Instead of giving citizens who pay taxes money to make life affordable, all our money is going towards refugees and immigrants, anybody who pays taxes should be disgusted with this government

      And the Liberals will ask for more of this while saying „It’s only 25$ per person. Are you that poor?“

      A lot of those „asylum seekers“ and refugees are illegal border crossers from Roxam Road.

    4. It seems like they are addressing these issues.

      Refugee claims are declining.

      Co-pay is a good start.

      Do the people coming to Canada realize once they start working they’ll be taxed to hell?

    5. The worst part is that these include healthcare services that canadians DON’T get covered—-glasses, optometrist, physiotherapist, psychologist, dentist, medications

      I pay thousands of dollars every year for these things. Ive been working since i was 15 years old and due to an accident that was no fault of my own i have tons of health care bills that my provincial health doesnt cover. Even with my employee supplemental insurance i only get coverage for 3 RMT sessions a year and end up having to pay $600-$800 out of pocket for the sessions i need but don’t have coverage for

      Maybe my parents should have claimed asylum when we immigrated here in the 1990s instead of going through expensive immigration processes like rubes

      But in all seriousness why the fuck are there 44 THOUSAND indian nationals each year claiming asylum after their student visas expire? That should be immediate fucking denial

      I personally think that the government-resettled confirmed refugees should have access to healthcare, but that is the smallest group—around 10,000 of the 600,000 people.

      But the rules should be this:

      1) only coverage for confirmed refugees formally resettled

      2) only coverage that matches what Canadian citizens get for our OHIP, MSP, etc coverage

      Asylum claimants should not have coverage, as this incentivizes coming and making a claim when you have a lot of medical bills. Maybe if their cases are heard and they are confirmed as genuine refugees then they can be reimbursed for like doctors office and ER visits, but they should pay upfront

    6. >The review of the IFHP conducted by the Parliamentary Budget Officer finds that this year there are roughly **600,000 people** covered by the program — **more than two thirds** of them are **asylum claimants.**

      So 400,000+ asylum claimants in 2025 then?

    7. **Paywall bypass:** [https://archive.ph/qYhTM](https://archive.ph/qYhTM)

      **In Brief:**

      * A federal program to provide health care to refugees and asylum claimants that a decade ago cost just $60 million a year is expected to cost taxpayers close to $1 billion this year.
      * According to the [Parliamentary Budget Officer](https://www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/publications/RP-2526-023-C–projecting-cost-interim-federal-health-program–prevision-cout-programme-federal-sante-interimaire), the program will cost more than $1.5 billion annually by the end of the decade.

    8. How many hospitals does that get us? Per year?
      They need to stop loopholes and process quickly and get people out that aren’t even supposed to be covered.

      Another Trudeau era performative bs that needs to end asap. Remember the genius on twitter telling the world we are open as a country – to be abused.

    9. Why are we funding healthcare for refugees to the tune of $1B when the system is crumbling for Canadians who have been paying taxes for decades?

    10. thatcanadianguysup on

      Are we allowed to speak against the LIMA scams with our being called racist?

    11. MinuteCampaign7843 on

      Canada is a sucker country.

      Doesn’t this make you want to stop paying taxes?

      Our leaders are so focused on making themselves look good through the diversity and inclusions lens and make their lobby groups happy, they are willing to burn through billions of our money to let these scammers come into our country and live off our dime in luxury while we have millions of tax paying Canadians going to food banks! What the heck is going on here? This should make everyone furious!

    12. CPC: Ok lets fast track our motion to deport anyone caugh doing crimes to save money in general. (This would include on Health Care)

      Liberals: naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

      Also Liberals: LOOK AT THEM BLOCKING HELP FOR CANADIANS!

    13. I bet $1 billion could go a long way towards universal coverage for Canadians for eye care.

    14. I have no problem providing legitimate asylum seekers and refugees with comprehensive health care. What I do have a problem with is giving better coverage than what Canadians get to anyone who comes here and claims asylum, which so many are doing now who clearly don’t qualify. Right now I would have better health care if I renounced my citizenship, flew in from another country and claimed asylum when I landed. That’s mind boggling.

    15. Having to choose dental over new glasses, not accessing therapy because its like $160/hr. Skipping or paying out of pocket when insurance runs out. This is complete outrage some randoms that have contribute nothing get all these benefits while I work and don’t even get to recieve them.

    16. The citizens love their government but the government don’t love them back. `🤣`

    17. Dear-Let-1075 on

      We need a tent. Interview then send back. Most country hop. Automatic refusal. Let’s cut the number. We Canadian people need that money.
