Toronto Western: Toronto Rehab Institute

Toronto Rehab Institute: Hospitals in Greater Toronto are hardest hit by the changes, made effective by the federal government last June, since the majority of refugees are destined for this province, according to The Star. In other cases, refugees who fall sick are being billed by hospitals to pay for their medical care and A year after Ottawa cut health funding for refugees, Ontario hospitals are absorbing the costs or pursuing those patients for unpaid medical bills. The University Health Network which includes Toronto General, Toronto Western and Princess Margaret hospitals, along with the Toronto Rehab Institute expects to foot a total $800,000 bill this year for services delivered to the uninsured in its emergency rooms alone.
