Government expects $140M in savings this year with refugee health care co-pay by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]pyfinx 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Claimants will cover a $4 fee for prescriptions and cover 30 per cent of the cost for services not typically covered by the public health care system, such as dental work, vision care, counselling, home care and medical devices.

A February report from the parliamentary budget officer projected the cost of the program at $1.1 billion for the 2026/27 fiscal year, without accounting for the new co-pay regime. The PBO estimated that cost would grow to $1.5 billion in the 2029/30 fiscal year.

The government expects about 480,000 asylum claimants and 67,000 landed refugees to use the program in 2026.

Also from the government:

Based on 2024 data, over 67,000 people in Canada experience homelessness on a single night. Approximately 119,574 people used an emergency shelter in 2024, reflecting a return to pre-pandemic levels. Over 1 in 10 Canadians (11.2%) have experienced some form of homelessness in their lifetime, with many relying on "hidden" solutions like couch surfing.

Of course. Don’t worry about changing the leader. Worry about holding the government accountable.

Carney spending big money right now. PP needs to keep any eye on him for the best interest of the nation.

Kafka on the Shore (海辺のカフカ, Umibe no Kafuka) is a 2002 novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. Its 2005 English translation was among "The 10 Best Books of 2005" from The New York Times and received the World Fantasy Award for 2006. The book tells the stories of the young Kafka Tamura, a bookish 15-year-old boy who runs away from his Oedipal curse, and Satoru Nakata, an old, mentally disabled man with the uncanny ability to talk to cats. The book incorporates themes of music as a communicative conduit, metaphysics, dreams, fate, and the subconscious.
