Rown thwaite, architect, watches --CP Wirephoto Quebec's Three Big Unions Ask Provincial Health Plan MONTREAL (CP) --Quebec's three largest union groups said today the province should have a health insurance plan that would be universal, compulsory and applicable to all aspects of public health. | In a brief presented jointly to! the commission of inquiry on} health and social welfare at its first public hearing, the Confed-| eration of National Trade Un- ions, Quebec Federation of La- bor and Catholic Farmers' Un- jon said illness is too often a catastrophe for the poor. A good health insurance acheme would not be just "elec- tronic co-ordination of doctor's bills and receipts" but would be "a true social security measure putting medical progress on every man's doorstep," the, brief said. "We are opposed to all volun- tary plans which demand proof of poverty, and in the name of equality we would exclude pri- vate insurance companies from such a scheme," The brief suggested that clinic groups made up of professionals | with different medical skills and knowledge should in time re- place the doctor who works) alone, particularly in large cit- | les. Wie The three union groups, who | together represent 500,000 Que- bec workers, said the scheme should be paid for through in- come taxes and no extra charges aimed at dissuading malingerers should be imposed, for fear such charges would dis- eriminate against the poor. The eight-man inquiry com- mission, headed by Claude Cas- tonguay, is expected to receive briefs from more than 55 or-| ganizations and individuals dur-| ing sittings in Montreal and Que- bec City. | It is scheduled to hand in a} report on health insurance and the wage problems of resident doctors and interns by July 1, and then to hold a second series of hearings on related health! matters this fall. | a community of quiet elegance lncated in oshawa's northern residential area.

An independent insurance agent represents several com- panies, His job doesn't end with selling you insurance. That's the big difference in insurance -- the continuing, personal atten- tion of an independent agent. He keeps the insurance on your car and home up-to-date. If you have a loss, the same independent agent is there again to see you get paid promptly and fairly. To get all the facts about complete insurance protection, look for the man who displays this Big "I" symbol. It tells you he's a member of the Ontario Insurance Agents' Association. It also means that he'll give you service beyond the | call of duty.
