BBC News - Asylum seekers fight for free Canadian healthcare

BBC News - Asylum seekers fight for free Canadian healthcare: In a statement to the BBC, spokeswoman Danielle Vlemmiks said: "Canadians have been clear - they do not want illegal immigrants and bogus refugee claimants receiving healthcare benefits that are better than those Canadian taxpayers, including seniors, receive."

This month Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, along with three individual patients, asked a federal court to declare the cuts unconstitutional and illegal. The case could last a year.
