Among other things, hospitals aril be permitted to increase their revenues by charting more for private and semi -private beds nest year, as well as converting Some public ward space, now set at 50 percent of a hospital's bed, to private or seimi-private use. Previously, revenue from this type of accommodation has bees split 05 - 35 between the province and the hospitals respectively. Under the new plan, the hospital will be able to keep an the revenue, mid apply it to other programs. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith's reaction to the ninistees announcement was that, "Medicare is now being systematically iismantled". Hospitals "are now being told to declare more of their beds as private .and semicrivate, so if you are waiting for an operation, you'll be tot& look, we can't accommodate you in the standard ward, but if you would come ia as semi- private, we just might get you in a little sooniee. The gy way the hospitals can sizMve now, according to the government, is to gouge people who want semi- private cane. Snith tabled a motion caning for a debate on a "matter of urgent public importance, namely the imposition of two -class health care in Ontario an- nounced .inside the Lelislature by the Minister of Health whereby sup- plementary hospital in- surance win become a necessity, even longer waiting periods will be imposed on ordinary citizens, and user fees are to be entrenched, thus further eroding universal inetneare."
