will premium payments end january 1 1990 ontario residents are responsible for paying their premiums until the end of december 1989 for the period through march 31 1990 will my health care coverage continue yes if you were covered you will continue to be covered under your present ohip number payment of the final premium will ensure continuous coverage to march 31 1990 after april 1 1990 coverage will automatically remain valid for all eligible residents of ontario ontarios health care system covers all residents of the province including students senior citizens retired people people on social assistance people who are employed unemployed or selfemployed what should i do if i do not have an ohip number contact your local ohip office will the change affect personal coverage under company plans such as semiprivate coverage or company drug plans no why did the ontario government eliminate ohip premiums in the past many companies paid all or a percentage of ohip for their employees other companies paid nothing many ontarians paid ohip premiums on their own unfortunately many of the people who had to pay their own premiums were those who could least afford them the new employer health tax and the elimination of m ohip premiums will make the system fair for everyone will there be enough money to maintain the quality of health care we enjoy today yes last year nearly fourteen billion dollars onethird of the entire provincial budget went towards providing health care for ontario residents the elimination of premiums in no way affects the amount of money the government has committed to health care it simply changes one of the spurces of the money in the past ohip premiums only paid for a very small part of the ontario health care sys tem most of the money for health care came from general revenues collected through the tax system what do i do when i go to the doctor or the hospital do what you usually do use your ohip number its still the same present
