All three parties in Ontario are con- vinced that some form of medicare must be introduced. Why they are so sure is hard to understand. We have never heard one single person in this area express a desire for a state -operated medical plan. Most people hereabouts are quite satis- fied with looking after their own medical bills. A large proportion have coverage, and have selected the type of insurance which best suits the needs of themselves and their families. They feel, quite logi- cally, that state medical care will in- evitaby mean some form of taxation to cover the cost, and are not too keen about taking on the burden of the thous- ands who are too improvident to look after their own needs. What has actually happened is that each party knows the other will offer a candy -coated handout at the next elec- tion . . , and the race is on to see who can come up with the most enticing bait. The NDP has already stated it would introduce a compulsory, universal plan —and admits that the doctors would be opposed and would be compelled by law to co-operate. Altogether a pretty unin- telligent stand after the bitter lessons in Saskatchewan. The Liberals seem to have a more moderate approach but favor a compul- sory set-up and government operation of a medical care 'scheme. We like Mr. Roberts' proposal, which would permit the man who pays the bills the opportunity of making his own de- cision. creace in Membership ELET—The Public Li - held its annual board g on Friday evening at 's General Store, where rary is located.
