Interim Federal Health Program: Prenatal Care

Tiffany Dept: That's when Tiffany started to panic, according to CTV. She told me that if I come and see the doctor I would have to pay the doctor a fee. TORONTO -- The call came 35 weeks into her pregnancy, right around the time her abdominal cramps began. It was the receptionist from her gynecologist's office saying the government's changes to the Interim Federal Health Program meant her prenatal care was no longer covered. I asked, What am I supposed to do?'... I got scared, recalled the 27-year-old originally from the Caribbean. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
