Heart Of The Matter
The Canadian public probably
has never been so badly inform-
ed an a vital topic as on medi-
care.
They are, bombarded with is-
sues that are not issues and
with scrambled . figures that
convey confusion rather than
information. Emotion and
lareast-4beating e'l'oquence 're-
places analyslis and reason', with
a minknum regard for the in-
terest of the individual so long
as someone's pet way of doing
things, is followed.
Medicare for low-income
groups- Is presented as an issue,
whereas it Is not an !issue, be-
came virtually all acre agreed
that medicare should be avaK-
a!ble to everyone regardless of
income, and than those unable
to pay should have their in-
surance paid for -them.
Unfounded charges are made
that someone wants to charge
people more in order 'to make
a profit. To use modern par-
Laned, some tadvocates of "gov-
ernment -only" plans have such
a "tbdng" about It that it al-
most app'earts they would rath-
er the public spay more under
a 'government plan than pay
less under a plan in'whidh both
government and private insur-
ance companiies. participate.
The broad issue is one of
government -only or govern-
ment -and -companies; and whe-
ther it should be compulsory
as proposed under government -
only plans, or voluntary.
No matter blow you doo it the
people will play the bill; but in
the government -only plan you
wipe out a Canadian Industry
which employspeople and pays
taxes; you put people out of
jolbs+ or force them to seek otl er
work, and you remove from the
scene the people best equipped
to see that the plan is, 'carried
out; in the most efficient,and
least costly way.
it is argued that companies
will charge more than would a
government. Here are the facts:
Many companies are mutual
companies and have no share -
not mutual must sell insurance
just as cheaply lUs: the 'mutuals;
.and both mutuals and non-
mutuals' must meet the compe-
tition of n:onAprafit doctor-
sponsorecl• plans.
The fact that they are in
business shows that their ef-
ficiency and experience enable
them to sell to the 'public as
•din'eaply or cheaper than non-
profit groups. Not only this,
ar

g
6zation's' pay about 90 per cent
of doctor's fees, private com-
panies pay 100 per dent and al-
so pay the government, a two
per cent tax.
In, fact for Canafdian life com-
panes in 'the field the accident
and sickness 'business has not
been a source of dividends to
shareholders. Why, thorn, do
they want to be in the health
business? They want to be in
aft because it rounds out the in-
surance sermices they are able
to offer, and which the: public
erxpects, eyed this has a value
to thin, even though it yields
little or no profit in itself.
Another example of absurd
and wrong comparisons goes
like this: "In Saskatchewan
the premium tis $24 a year and
In Alberta $159."
Here are the facts:
The Saskatchewan payment
of $24 a year represents about
one-quarter of the cost; the re-
mainder is collected from the
people in regular taxes. The
Alberta figure of $159 is the
highest prerrndum charged and
only a small percentage pay
this maximum amount. In fact,
the average premn um per fam-
ily in Alberta is approximately
Accordingly, the compaitis'on;
to 'this point, Is more like $96
for Saskatchewan compared
with $119 .for Alberta.
However, the Saskatchewan
plan pays :only 85 per cent of
the doctors' schedule of fees
while insurance companies un-
der the Alberta Plan pay 100
per cent land also pay a two
per cent prenntum tax to the
government. When all these
holders'. Companies that are
things are taken into consider-
ation the comparative costs a-
bout balance, out.
Ontario is difficult to com-
pare. with either province 'be-
cause its medical fees are high-
er.
Incidentally, 'the Saskatche-
wan plan, the darling of gov-
er nment=only advocates, char-
ges a premium to everyone, drn-
cludling low-income groups; the
Ontario plan, atttacked by gov-
ernment -only advocates, would
make no charge to, people who
do not earn enough to pay in-
come tax and would make a
graduated scale of assistance
available to those whose tax-
able dncorme -is $1,200 or less.
A common allusion which
helpsadvocates of government -
,only plans is an. impression .than
if the government pays for
something for you, the individ-
ual, dant pay for it; and an
associated illusion is that some
richer individuals pay for it.
Hare are the facts:
The sales tax is paid by
everyone, including the lowest
!income group; the corporation
tax is pard .by everyone, includ-
ing the lowest -income group
because inevdltaibly the. torpor'-
ation tax in very large meas-
ure must be passed on to the
public ,in the prices of products;
and income, tax figures show
that the greatest proportion 6s
paid by the many contributions
of people; of moderate incomers,
rather than the relatively few
contributions of the wealthy
There is widespread belief
among polilt>i:cians that the
tnajomity of people want a ;gov-
ernment;oanly plan,
The Ontario government,
which for many years has bent
its ear very successfully to
what people think, believe nth-
erwase. A government depart-
mental statement says:
"Although many cry for com-
Dulslion, equal or greater num-
bers cry out against it. The
records in Ontario show than,
given the opportunity, people
do not want, do not like and
would rather not have compul-
sion."
In the general confusion,
there is confusion. about the
word "compulsory".
Under the Ontario Hospital
Insurance Plan, ,for instance, it
is "compulsory" that where the
employees of the same employ-
er total 15 or more they form a
mandatory group. It ars not
convpulsory for anyone outside
of a mandatory group.
If a similarr mean6 ng is given
to the word "compulsory"
under the federal government's
recently -announced proposals,
then there is room for both
government and private agen-
dies in the medicare field and a
possibility for muchgreater ef-
ficiency and less cast than will
be passible otherwise.
There is' .no question that
certain conditions need to be
changed! and there isno- argu-
ment about this. It may be ask-
ed, however "Why not cure
what needs to be aired? Whly
throw out the baby wtiih the
bath. water?"
One; commentary presented
recently by a prominent fins!ur-
ante industry spokesman, sums
up the matter:
"In a given year health costs
are no problem to 73 per cent
of our population, they present
an important cost to 24 per
cent, and an acute and perhaps
shattering cast to • three per
cent. The idea of regimenting
100 per cent of the public and
100 per cent of the (medical)
profession to cope with the hap-
pily -small minority who run in-
to heavy expenses in, any single
year is neither desirable, nor
logical nor economic, and there
are many more intelligent so-
lutions available."
More than 200 companies Is-
sue, health insurance in Canada.
Many are. life insurance corn-'
pan!ies which also issue health
policies; others are engaged in
various farms of insurance as
well as health, and several
have 'health insurance as their
principal business. These com-
panlies, together with the pre-
payment and other plans cov-
ering meds expenses, `cal a roAd-
p
ed protection on a voluntary
basis for almost twelve million
Canadians at the end of 1964.
The fact that this• is more than
double the number having such
protection ten years earlier; it
ample evidence both of the ac-
ceptability of 'these arrange-
ments and of the ability of the
voluntary mechanism, to ex=
pond to meet Canadian needs,
