Babies could not wait, mom charged 22 K $

A couple newly arrived from the India was billed $ 22,000 by OHIP - because their babies arrived prematurely.

Maki Ueyama and her husband, Arvind Chandrasekar, arrived in Toronto in September 2010.

She had a job as a medical researcher and was pregnant with twins for three months.

But in December of the membrane of babies broke.

Ueyama was hospitalized at Sunnybrook hospital and gave birth to binoculars, premature close in four months.

"The first one, Grackle, it came naturally, and the second, Arya, was a profile in (c) emergency," said Ueyama.

Babies are Canadian, their medical expenses was immediately covered by Medicare, the Ontario health care system. But their mother had not spent the period of three months.

A day after giving birth to daughters Ueyama won a Bill.

RAMO covered the cost of hospitalization for the twins, but not for their mother. CBC

"I was stunned because it was a very large amount," said Chandrasekar. The Bill was $ 22,000 for Ueyama hospital care.

Six other provinces offer medical coverage to immigrants received the moment wherever they arrived.

Ontario is no.

On Wednesday, Health Minister Deb Matthews said the rules are the rules--despite the special circumstances.

"We are not all the changes on this three-month waiting period now, but I think it is important that people know what the rules are before they get here," she said.

The couple said that they did not know the rules - does not have babies.

They are not angry. They are grateful for the medical care, but still hope for a break.

"People here have welcomed us with open arms," said Chandrasekar. "Yes the system was such that he could not help us, but I'm not going to blame someone."

The Ontario Medical Association accepts that the rules should change. Immigrants should be covered immediately, says the OMA. Otherwise just people store health problems.

"There is no health benefit to wait to provide coverage until after three months are up," Dr. Mark MacLeod said in a statement. "If a person has an infectious disease, event of urgent health, accident, or a chronic disease, the best results will be reached when the person seeks medical care as quickly as possible."

But the Minister of health, the waiting period is to prevent people abusing the system, and it did not intend to change.

Ueyama and Chandrasekar said that the province is not to worry. Somehow, he will find a way to pay the Bill.

Right now, their greatest concern is taking care of their babies. After four months in the hospital, the twins were finally allowed to return last week.
