DESCRIPTION:A Hans & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law (w
 ebsite)   Brown Bag Seminar with Janet Cleveland\, a psychologist\, legal 
 scholar\, and researcher on refugee rights. Everyone welcome... and please
  bring your lunch!  Abstract  The federal government has recently made maj
 or cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). Previously\, the IFH
 P provided the equivalent of provincial health insurance for all resettled
  refugees and asylum seekers\, as well as coverage of medication and certa
 in other benefits similar to those provided under provincial social assist
 ance plans. Effective June 30\, 2012\, the IFHP no longer covers the cost 
 of medication for asylum seekers except for contagious diseases or other c
 onditions affecting public health or safety. For example\, the cost of che
 motherapy drugs is not covered\, nor insulin\, nor most other medications.
  The situation will be even worse for asylum seekers from certain countrie
 s designated as ‘safe’ by the government\, who will have no coverage for m
 edical care\, even for emergencies\, unless their condition is a threat to
  others. For this latter group\, there will be no coverage of medical care
  during childbirth\, for example\, or for life-threatening conditions such
  as heart attack or head injuries. The IFHP cuts jeopardize the health of 
 some of the most vulnerable members of our society\, and shift costs to pr
 ovincial governments without any savings for the taxpayer.  About the spea
 ker  Janet Cleveland is a psychologist\, legal scholar\, and researcher on
  refugee rights at the CSSS de la Montagne Research Centre\, affiliated wi
 th ºÚÁÏÉç  University. She has recently completed a study on the impact of
  detention in Canada on asylum seekers’ psychological health\, and is star
 ting a new study on access to health care for asylum seekers and undocumen
 ted persons. Since 2003\, she has studied various aspects of the Canadian 
 refugee system\, including the situation of psychologically vulnerable asy
 lum seekers.
