flag Canada to cut refugee health care access May 2026, adding fees for dental and prescriptions.

flag The Canadian government plans to impose $1 billion in health care cuts on refugees and asylum seekers starting May 1, 2026, requiring 30% co-pays for dental care and $4 prescription fees, while keeping emergency and physician services free. flag The move, part of a broader $60 billion defence budget increase, aims to save $358 million over two years by reducing payments to insurer Medavie Blue Cross. flag Critics warn the changes will deter preventive care, worsen health outcomes, and increase long-term emergency room use, calling the policy economically shortsighted and harmful to vulnerable populations.
