I like how some people think that saving 20,000,000 isnt worth the effort so we should just keep spending it. And people wonder why government spending is constantly on the rise. The total cost of the refugee healthcare program was 84.6 million last year, I am not great at math but I think if every government department could find a 23.6% savings - it wouldnt be a terrible such a thing.

I dont believe that Canadian taxpayers should have to pay to fix someones pre-existing conditions just because they have refugee status. You have bad teeth or a wonky eye before you show up, you have lived with those for X years, you can live with them another Y years until your refugee claim is either approved or denied.

I also love how someone with a medical degree believes they are qualified to speak on immigration issues. Doctors dont think that people scam the system to get free healthcare system. Wow, I didnt know so many medical doctors also had experience in the immigration department. Maybe they think that gypsies are hard working people just trying to escape a totalitarian regime.. I tend to think doctors should stick to their day job of and let others worry about immigration.
