federal health care payments federal Health Minister Monique Begin warned Monday The minister said the withholding of federal transfer payments has never been done since Confederation but said she feared that other provinces could follow if medicare was allowed to erode in Ontario am trying to save medicare she said adding that the situation is not as serious in other provinces Miss Begin said the Ontario Health In surance Plan is financed almost entirely by the federal government and by premiums paid by Ontario residents the province paying less than eight per cent of the bill She said when federal transfer payments for health care began in 1976 it was with the condition that the province pay 50 per cent of the cost of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan But Miss Begin said the provinces con tribution is actually about 36 per cent situation she described as scandalous If you subtract federal healthcare transfers and OHIP premiums you find that Ontario is spending $425 million less on health care this year than it did in 197576 PEOPLE LOSE LT For the Ontario treasury OHIP is the best thing since Wintario an Ontario lotteryi Miss Begin said Ontario received $23 billion in federal transfer payments for health care services for 197980 which represents about 64 per cent of Ontarios healthcare costs What is Ontarios priority its treasury or the health care of its people she asked In my view the federal government is paying far more than its share and the bulletin The custody battle between heryl Blake 26 and Mrs Betty Foster her mother ended today when their lawyers settled out of court Mrs Blake will keep the children at the Fellowship of Christians commune at Wyevale MONIQUE BEGIN payments scandalous people of the province are paying far higher premiums than they need pay And yet the Ontario government has allowed situation to develop where great number of lower and middle income people in this province may be deterred from seeking care when they need it Last week Miss Begin threatened the federal government might withhold $191 million in healthcare payments from New Brunswick until it determines whether the province is diverting healthcare money to other projects TREASURER ANGRY In Ontarios case the minister said she will give the provincial government chance to study statistics on health care prepared by her officials and to
