The Hospital Insurance For All Students Over 72,000 Ontario teenagers who turn 19 years of age this year will no longer have hospital in- surance protection under their par- ents' certificates and separate premiums will be required for them. The Ontario Hospital Ser- ices Commission has sent supplies -of leaflets and posters to all high schools, colleges and universities for distribution to senior students, telling them how to make sure their insurance is continued. "We are very much concerned that every 19-year-old boy and girl know about this requirement', stated Dr. R. Ian Urquhart, Chair- man of the Commission, ""and this distribution of literature is. a re- peat of a similar programme Car- ried out last year in co-operation with the Ontario Department of Education. "Many of the young people con- cerned. who are working will al- ready be paying premiums through groups at their places of employ- men", the Chairman explained, "but thousands are still in school and are apt to overlook their hos- pital insurance." More than 115,000"pieces of lit- erature were sent to some 900 educational institutions. The pam- phlets also tell students what to do about their hospital insurance if they take summer employment or get married.
