TORONTO - Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews is urging the federal government to reverse its decision to "significantly reduce" health coverage for refugee claimants. BLOG POSTS  | Ike Awgu: What Obamacare Means for Canada (Hint: Brain Drain)
The diagnosis is in: earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of the sweeping health care law championed by President Barack Obama in an eagerly awaited decision that further divided an already divided nation. The stakes for Americans could not have been higher: upholding the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare" if you're inclined to call it that) is going to have an impact on the lives of every American.
