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 "in -patients" in approved hospitals. It will also provide bene-
fits for emergency "out-patient" hospital care within 24 hours following an
accida:nt.
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 Provincial 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
physical or mental infirmity.
AS OF NEXT JANUARY 1, THIS WILL BE THE ONLY STANDARD
WARD HOSPITAL INSURANCE AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS OF
ONTARIO. IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED YOU ARE NOT INSURED.

A NOTE ABOUT
"ALL-INCLUSIVE"
HOSPITAL RATES
Beginning on January 1, 1959, the
hospitals of Ontario will charge "all-
inclusive" daily rates, instead of basic
daily rates, plus extras, as at present.
The standard ward "all-inclusive" rate,
which will include the cost of extra
services (use of operating room, drugs,
etc.), is expected to average about
$ 17.00 a day for the public hospitals
of Ontario. However, as rates will vary
from hospital to hospital, according to
the type of services available, the charge
may be $20.00 or more a day in some
hospitals.
The "all-inclusive" rates will
apply whether the hospital bill is
paid by the insurance plan or by
the patient himself.
