The ONLY Basic Hospital Insurance Available
The Ontario Hospital Insurance plan provides the most comprehensive
hospital benefits ever made available to the people of this province. It will
cover all the standard ward hospital services which are medically necessary to
the treatment of r`in-patients" inapproved hospitals. It will also provide bene-
fits for emergency "out-patient" hospital care within 24 hours following an
accident.
The very low premiums of $2.10 a month for the single person and $4.20
a month for the family are made possible by substantial contributions toward
the cost from the ProV'incial and Federal Governments. The "Family" prem-
ium ,covers husband, wife, and all unmarried, unemployed children under
•
age 19, and children 19 or over who are financially dependent because of
