VOL. 94--NO. 135 Bde Par' Wesk Teme Balivered - OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1965 Aged A Will Pa Into Medicare TORONTO (CP) -- The aged and those in chronic poor health will have to pay higher prem- jums under the new Ontario medical care plan, Health Min- ister Dymond told the legisla- ture Wednesday. Answering a question by James Renwick (NDP--Toronto Riverdale), Dr. Dymond said that normally healthy persons might have to pay less than the maximum premium established by the legislation but age and health factors would require some to pay the maximum premium. The bill does not give the maximum--to be set by an ad- visory council established by the bill. Opposifion Leader Andrew Thompson said the so - called "bad risks" often were those who could least afford to pay more. It is revolting that insur- ance companies are making a profit from ill health, he said. NDP Leader Donald MacDon- ald suggested the difference in the premium might be from $20 to $50 more for the aged and those in poor health. Dr. Dymond said the rate for persons expected to buy govern- nd Sick y More ment-subsidized coverage would be about $180 a year. Ross Whicher (L--Bruce) said the government should not look at costs incurred by Physicians' Services Inc. when , estimating how much the medical care plan will cost the province. "There are thousands of: doc- tors in Ontario who are fleec- ing PSI," Mr. Wicher said, by always charging patients the maximum amount allowed by PSI for certain services. He said rural co-operatives run their medical plans cheaper and suggested Dr. Dymond go to them for representation on his advisory committee. MAXIMUM RATE Mr. MacDonald said the ad- visory committee might set the maximum rate to be charged by private companies at as much ag $250. The rate charged by the companies for people with normal health might be from $150 to $180, depending on ben- efits desired, with the result that old and sick persons would pay about $200 or from $20 to) $50 more. i The legislature is giving clause-by-clause study of the 30-; section bill. | Lewis Lashes Government: | Starving Mental Hospitals _. TOONTO (CP)--The Ontario government was accused in the legislature Wednesday of con- sciously, systematically and premeditatedly starving its On- tario mental hospitals. | The charge was made by| Stephen Lewis, New .Demo- eratic Party health and welfare critic, who told the house that) in the last two months he has visited seven Ontario hospitals. Mr. Lewis said he found that the government spends more for the care of prisoners in jails and. reformatories, and for hae veh Senge ools, than it does for. pa ent mental hospitals. ' He gave the house examples of his findings: Costs of $6.24 a day per person for Brockville's Ontario hospital, compared with $9.85 a day per person for its county jail; $6.34 for St. Firms Support Safe-Car Laws TORONTO (CP)--The car in- dustry would welcome. iaws forcing them to make safety features standard equipment, Metropolitan Toronto Chief Cor- oner Morton Shulman said Wed- nesday.

They felt the brunt of a full. regimental offensive by the Communists during a day of bloody battle. . A relief battalion of about 400 South Vietnamese Army men landed by helicopter at an air- strip near the town this morn- ing. It 'was cut to pieces by enemy fire.

Both groups of employ- ees. are seeking higher pay. With two days and four rush hours behind them, commuters who usually take MTC buses have been getting used to find- ing other means of transporta- tion. A newsstand operator told of travelling to work Wednesday in a station wagon ang three trucks. One was an ice. cream truck, in which Maleo ,Rittner, fi- nancial district, rode in the freezer compartment. "Very cool," he said. "T frankly could not care Jess if the bus strike never: stops. I get to work much faster and meet many friendly people this way." Police have estimated that there are 25 to 50 per cent more cars on the roads, though they have expressed surprise at the relatively free movement of traffic. « TRAINS JAMMED ; Crammed commuter trains have been coping with extra loads, absorbing at least some of the 1,000,000 passengers that the MTC normally carries. As of 12:01 a.m. EDT. Satur- day, 600° drivers and 200 other employees of the PTC are set to go on a strike of their own. The PTC, which serves Mont- real suburbs and operates buses from city to city in Quebec, has announced that it will not ac- cept express packages after noon today. Meanwhile, two insurance jcompanies published an adver- tisement warning car owners about charging their passengers for rides.
