Foreign visitors skipped out on nearly $40 million in Manitoba medical bills over the past five years, leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab.
Between 2020-21 and 2024-25, foreign visitors racked up $39.62 million in unpaid healthcare costs, according to a SecondStreet.org analysis.
President Colin Craig said the unpaid bills are costing taxpayers “millions of dollars” as healthcare access continues to deteriorate.
