I'm ok with refugees having basic healthcare. If you give refugees more, I think the legal immigrants that have just landed should also get more.

Up to and including June 29, 2012, the services covered by the IFHP for all eligible beneficiaries will continue to include:
basic coverage (i.e., treatments normally covered by provincial or territorial health insurance plans);
supplemental coverage (i.e., health-care benefits similar to those provided through provincial social assistance plans, such as drugs and dental and vision care); and
costs related to the Immigration Medical Examination (IME).
