The global refugee crisis and the increased number of refugees seeking asylum in Canada has led the federal government to enact a series of policy reforms related to refugee healthcare coverage and spending. This paper provides a critical review of the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), drawing on concepts from social justice, migration, and market-oriented theories while examining policy rhetoric, legal ramifications, and media portrayals. The recommendations in this article aim to reduce health inequities and healthcare access barriers for the refugee population in Canada. Findings suggest Canadian federal policies have contributed to refugee health disparities
