Ontario Hospitals

Ontario hospitals: I did not choose to have cancer, June 9, according to The Star. Not only is the patient billed, he or she is billed double or triple the actual cost of the procedures because that is the norm for Ontario hospitals for any patient who doesnt have a valid Ontario Health Card. An MRI test that OHIP gets billed $300 or $400 is billed to an uninsured Ontarian at the rate of $1,000 to $1,500 and Re: I did not choose to have cancer, June 9 Since the federal government cut health benefits to refugees in 2012, most hospitals are billing these patients for their visits. These visits range from an emergency such as a motor vehicle accident to a baby delivery; they are not considered a threat to public health. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
