加拿大保守派呼吁议会对《临时联邦保健方案》进行审查,指出自2020年以来,费用翻了两番,从2.11亿美元增加到2024-25年的8.96亿美元,预计到2028-29年每年费用为15亿美元。 Canadian Conservatives are calling for a parliamentary review of the Interim Federal Health Program, citing a quadrupling of costs since 2020—from $211 million to $896 million in 2024–25—with projections of $1.5 billion annually by 2028–29. 该动议试图限制对被驳回的申请提出上诉的寻求庇护者的非紧急健康福利,规定每年报告方案使用情况,并限制补充服务。 The motion seeks to restrict non-emergency health benefits for asylum seekers appealing rejected claims, mandate annual reporting on program use, and limit supplementary services. 联邦政府从5月1日起实行30%的附加护理共同付费和4美元的处方费,这是在三年内实现15%储蓄计划的一部分。 The federal government is implementing a 30% co-pay for supplemental care and a $4 prescription fee starting May 1, part of a plan to achieve 15% savings over three years. 该方案的受益人数在2024-25年上升到约624 000人,超过30万庇护申请尚待处理。 The program’s beneficiary count rose to about 624,000 in 2024–25, with over 300,000 asylum claims pending.
