whelming success. To date, more than 5,300,000 residents of
Ontario (over 90%) are registered and will be eligible for benefits
when the plan becomes effective on January 1, 1959. However,
there are still some residents of the province who are not registered
and it is to these people that this message is addressed
It should be clearly understood, and remembered, that only
insured .residents will receive benefits under the plan„
ON AND AFTER JANUARY 1, 1959, THOSE PERSONS
WHO ARE NOT INSURED UNDER THE ONTARIO
PLAN MUST PAY THEIR OWN HOSPITAL BILLS IF
THEY ARE ADMITTED FOR' TREATMENT.

A NOTE TO ALL EMPLOYERS
If you employ 15 or more persons,
enrolment is mandatory for every
Ontario resident on your payroll. If
there is any employer who has not yet
registered his employees with the Com-
Mission, he must do so immediately to
comply with regulations under the
Ontario Hospital Services Commission
Act,
EMPLOYERS OF FEWER THAN
15 PERSONS
Thousands of firms employing fewer
than 15 persons have elected to .enrol
their employees as groups.
If you employ fewer than15 persons
you may do the same, and afford your
employees the convenience of group
participation.
Group registration forms are
available from the Commission on
request.
To be sure that every resident who is not yet registered may have a final
chance to obtain the two months' free coverage, and also be protected as
of January 1, next, the initial registration period has been extended to
November 29, 1958. Residents who apply after November 29 will lose
the two months' free coverage, and will have to wait up to three•months
before their hospital insurance becomes effective. This illeallS that, if
you are hospitalized during the waiting period, yore will have to pay your
own hospital lulls at the "all-inclusive" rates, Register NOW and have
no regrets.
e Have you a son or daughter 19 or over who should be
registered at the single premium?
• Have you a relative or a friend who is aged or infirm
whom you should encourage to register ?
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 ithe•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 sonic
hospitals,
The "all-inelosive" rates will'
apply whether the hospital bill. is
paid by the insutanee plan or by
the patient himself.
The ONLY 8asic 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
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 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

oNirAmo. IF YOU Ald NOT REaSTERED YOU ARE N iNSUREli.
