Health Care Coverage Dept: She knows that as of July 1, she won t have health care coverage. She knows she won t be able to manage the bills associated with having her child later, said the specialist in maternal-fetal medicine at St. Michael s Hospital, according to The Star. In Toronto, 500 people doctors, nurses, midwives, dentists and social workers lined the street in front of Citizenship and Immigration Canada s office on St. Clair St. at Yonge, demanding that Ottawa rescind the plan and dr. Tatiana Freire-Lizama felt helpless when a pregnant refugee came into her office and asked to have her baby delivered a month before due date. That story was one of many similar tales shared and repeated on Monday at protests held in 14 cities across Canada against Ottawa s proposed health-care cuts for refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
