I completely agree with the implementation of a private health insurance for residents that have not yet contributed to the system, especially in the case of immigration to Canada for the purpose of economic gains. However, how does a system like this take into account those that seek asylum in Canada? The application of quality healthcare to asylum seeking immigrants is often a key cause of refugee seeking residence in Canada. Providing much needed care is also a means of ensuring that new Canadian residence become, working, able bodied, tax paying members of our society.
