Health Care Costs and Federal Court

Federal Court: The Federal Court hearing in Toronto opens just the latest chapter in the ongoing legal debate over whether those awaiting a decision on their refugee claim ought to have all of their health care costs paid by the Canadian government. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. What was put in place as a result of that decision doesn't comply with the original ruling by Federal Court Justice Anne Mactavish, said Lorne Waldman, the lead lawyer for the refugee claimants and doctors behind the case. The Conservative government is continuing to violate a Federal Court ruling that affirmed the right of refugee claimants in Canada to access health care services, lawyers are set to argue Tuesday. The regime that being challenged was put in place in November, after the court ruled that a massive overhaul of the program undertaken by the Conservatives in 2012 was unconstitutional and demanded a fix.
