BREAKING NEWS
The Parliamentary Budget Officer has confirmed that the federal healthcare program used by rejected and failed asylum claimants is projected to cost over $1.5 BILLION per year.
This is far higher than what the Liberals have led Canadians to believe.
Conservatives forced an investigation at the Health Committee into the Interim Federal Health Program, and now the independent PBO has exposed just how out of control the costs have become.
Rejected asylum claimants are receiving supplemental benefits like physiotherapy, speech therapy, and home care while 6.5 million Canadians can’t find the basic service of a family doctor.
Canadians are rightfully asking why rejected asylum claimants are getting better health benefits than they are.
At committee, doctors testified that under the IFHP, doctors are charging up to five times provincial rates.
This raises serious concerns that the program is being financially exploited with no oversight.
The PBO will testify at the Health Committee today.
More to come.
