hospital services ineiltably
reached the point when it became
impossible' for hospitals to con-
tinue operating as charitable in-
stitutions for the poor.
The hospital had to be paid for
the services provided to its pat-
ients In order to stay in exis-
tence, and it had to adopt busi-
ness practices. The cost of a
patient's board and room were
figured, along with nursing care
on a basis of so much per day.
Medicine, operating rooms and
special services were figured at
cost, Thi s meant the appointment
of a business manager, and bill-
collecting, a job hospitals, parti-
cularly, did not relish but had to
do. Of course, this did not mean
the complete end of hospital char-
ity. No needy patients were turned
away for lack of funds. But many
of those patients who wanted to
pay their own way, found the)
couldn't without seriously deplet-
ing their savings,_ or mortgaging
their property. This early reali-
zation that the cost of beisnital
care could be pruinbitive to all
but the wealthiest led to the
inevitable development of "mut-
ual help" plans, the forerunners
of Blue Cross and the government
hospitalization schemes we have
today.
First Pre-Payment Plan
1n 18 -8, St. Joseph's Hos-
pital in Victoria, B.C., became
the first Canadian hospital to
offer its services on a pre- .
payment plan--"gratuitous ad-
mission, visits of, the doctor at
reduced rates, and medicines
free of charge"--for 'a monthly
subscription of , one dollar. As
early as 1883, the Nova Scotia
Provincial Workers Association
were making deductions-'• from
wages for doctor's services and
, hospital care, and in other mining
and lumbering centres across
Canada similar arrangeMents
were adopted. Some companies
in remote areas even established
their own employee hospitals.
Sitch..,programs became in:-
creasingly popuiar and by .719'34
a committee of the Canadian
Medical Association was able
to report 27 hospital-sponsored
prepayment plans operating in six ,
provinces.' Typical of these was
the Kingston plan-which began in
1933 -and provided prepaid ser-
vices at both 'the Kingston Gen-
eral Hospital and the Hotel Dieu.
Such plans as these, of •course,
a were able to-cover only Minute
fractio,n of the population. Their
comparative. success and pop-
ularity, however accented tire
need for more broadly-based
plans \Stich could make' the ob-
vious benefits of prepaid hos-
pital care available to everyone
who ,sought ..them. The logical-
answer, to this .need came . with.
the Blue Cross movement, which,
had its beginning-8" in' 1929 Wherfk
a group of faculty members at,
Baylor University in 'Dallas;
Texas, signed an agreement with
the University Hospital.
With the direct backing of the
American Hospital Association,
the . idea oi• non-profit community-.
wide coverage spread rapidly
across the United States and into
Canada during the '30's. Local
Blue Cross . plans were estab-
lished in. states, provinces and
cities, each -one enjoying ,com-
plete administrative indepen-.
dence but all linked•by their c-om-a
mon purpose and their adherence
to the Blue Cross Charter, laid
down by the A.H.A: The biggest
of the 'Canadian Blue Cross plans
was established M. 1941 by the

Ontario Hospital Association, the
voluntary organization of ail hos-
pitals in the province.
The type of insurance cover-
age provided by Canada's vol-
untary plans, however, changed
significantly after January 1st,
1959. This was the date on which
government made its full scale
entry into the field of basic
hospital insurance.
Plans Are Costly
There is no doubt that the
plans are costly, and growing
costlier all the time, as new hos-
pital beds are added in their
thousands, as new and improved
hospital techniques call for fab-
ulously expensive equipment and,
above all, as salaries and wages
of the peeple.who staff our hos-
pitals go up and up to keep with
community
In 1972 Ontario's hospitals
plan alone will cost an anticipated
$1,000 million, of which 75-78
percent will be for salaries and
wages.
so who pays the cost for hos-
pital care? By now the answer is
probably obvious. PractiCally
everyone of us in Canada is help-
ing to pay this huge bill through
taxes and premiums. It may be
stretching the point to say that
the system is painlesS, but it is
fair and it ensures that no'Can-
adian has to mortgage his home
go int o debt, or worst of all,
deny himself necessary hospital
care because of the
.. And what about those Canad-
ians who want health insurance
over and above the basic govern-
ment hospital programs? They
are turning in ever-increasing
numbers to the Blue Cross plans
and the commercial insurance
companies', who are °flexing a
growing 'variety of .pre-paid
"supplementary" benefits, rang- ,
ing -from a semi-private hospital
room or an artificial limb, to
Tommy's allergy-shot at the doc-
tor's or the prescription you take
to the corner drug store.

our health costs, .it seems we
