The immigrants and refugees population probably needs more health care services than general population and the numbers of this vulnerable population are actually growing everyday. The most challenging problem will be the impact on economic; lacking of insurance not only affect the immigrants and refugees population’s economic status, but also alter the whole nation’s economic patterns. The government has to spend more money on health care for the growing immigrants and refugees population, and that also cause each individual in Canada has to share the growing risk and spending; ultimately, the increasing of health care budget will actually impact the whole nation. If it’s possible, maybe the Canada government could try to start some program like delivering non-profit health care for the immigrants and refugees population at the public clinics and hospitals for a short period of time before they are approved by the universal health care system, then they don’t have to worry about the cost of getting the health care without insurance; and the government could also provide some benefits for the medical provider who volunteer in the program. It might not be the best solution, but it still might be an alternative plan to deal with the present situation.
