If we listened to activists and let everyone get any health coverage they wanted, the system would be swamped with American health tourists.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Last week, activists protested at the offices of the Ministry of Health with the irresponsible message of “health care for all” and “access for all.” It might sound good, it might sound compassionate but it’s an unsustainable idea for a system that is already stretched.
Our medical system, regardless of province, covers immigrants who come to Canada legally. For anyone claiming refugee status,The only reason that this woman would not be covered is that she overstayed a visa, was rejected in her refugee application and ordered out of the country by the federal government or has entered and stayed in Canada in some other way that is a violation of the law. Not only is she in the country illegally, she isn’t paying taxes that pay for the health system.
Should our health system cover people in the country illegally when we have trouble providing timely care to those paying for it? Some would argue we should, that this woman is in a precarious position, and we should provide care for all.Article content Let me explain why opening up our system like these activists are calling for is a bad idea using a slightly different scenario.
