Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review examined how lack of Medicare insurance affects health outcomes, service usage, and costs among uninsured migrants in Canada, finding that uninsured individuals often delay care, leading to preventable health issues.
  • The review analyzed ten studies from various sources up to March 2021, revealing differences in health outcomes and healthcare utilization between insured and uninsured migrants, though no data on healthcare costs were found.
  • The findings suggest that policy changes to improve access and affordability of healthcare for migrants, such as increased funding for community health centers, could enhance service use and health results for this vulnerable group.
