Stop Cuts to Refugee Health Care: National Day of Action, June 18, 2012

As of June 30th, all refugees will be dramatically affected by cuts to their health insurance.  It is a drastic change to the existing program and will leave many already vulnerable people in a very tenuous situation.  Please join health care workers and others opposed to the cuts in a National Day of Action on June 18th.  See the accompanying attachments to provide more information about the event in Toronto as well as nine other cities across Canada.  We have recently heard that Windsor, Kitchener, and Halifax will also be holding events to bring the total to 13 cities-please look for updates on participating cities on our website at www.doctorsforrefugeecare.ca .

Date: June 18th, noon
