When Reverend Archie Robertson, pastor
of Bethel Bible Church, Fgmondville set out
to do a survey to find out what people feel
churches should be doing for the community,
he never dreamed he would end up staying up
all night with a bunds of area teenagers.
However, all-night youth activities seemed
to be just what the community ordered.
"We went door-to-door to 100 homes
asking people what they felt churches should
be doing. The biggest response was To
things for young people ," said Mr.
Robertson.
The concern seemed to centre on the young
people, who are not involved in sports and
other organized activities and spend their
evenings "just hanging around on the
streets," said Mr. Robertson.
"The feeling seemed to be, 'If you're not
into hockey, or ice skating, what is there to do
in town'," said Mr. Robertson.
What the church came up with to respond
to this need, was an All -Night Activities
night, open to any young people between the
ages of 12 and 19. The event, held on Friday,
February 21, from? p.m. until8 a.m. the next
day, featured games, films, a swimming
session, ice skating, bowling, volleyball and
finally breakfast. A midnight pizza feast was
also included.
The event was such a success from the
beginning, 53 people showed up where they
had .only been expecting about 30, Mr.
Robertson's group decided to make it a
regular event. The next all-nighter is already
planned for March 21. u will feature a
western motif, with western dress, games
and food the main attractions.

Extra billing ban
ensures equal
medicine access
The Health Care Accessibility Act will —
ensure an American-style, two tiered system
of health care never takes hold in Ontario, .
and that all residents in the province have '
equal access to "medicine without toll-
gates," Health Minister Murray Elston told
members of the Ontario Association of •
Optometrists.
Medicare, now in its third decade in
Canada, is based on the principles of
universal coverage and accessibility, Mr.
Elston said. It was intended to avoid the •
development of a patchwork system of health
care, such as exists in the United States,
where "the rich get the very best, and
everybody else gets what's left a system
where the cost of health services is the most
common cause of personal bankruptcy."
Medicare was adopted because Canadians
wanted to ensure no one in Canada is
deterred from receiving needed care because
of their financial circumstances.
"Canadians thought that point was estab-
lished two decades ago," Mr. Elston said. -
"We thought that debate was over."
But unfortunately, he said, the battle for
universal access is not over for senior
citizens, who have a greater than average
need for specialized medical care and less •
money to pay forst. It is not over for an elderly
man from the Owen Sound, area, whose wife
wrote to the minister that he was charged
more than$400 in extra fees by a surgeon.
The couple could ill afford the extra fees, but
,,,said they had "too much pride to state our
financial position because it equalled a means
test in our estimation."
Nor is the battle over for the many women
in urban centres who have difficulty finding
an obstetrician who does not extra -bill. And it
is not over for residents of Ontario's 10
largest counties, where more than 80 per cent
of the p rovin ce's op ted -out physicians reside.
Extra -billing is "snipping away at the
safety net" that medicare was intended to
provide, Mr. Elston said. It Is permitting the
emergence of a two-tier system of care.
Mr. Elston also debunked a number of ,
myths about the Health Care Accessibility
Act that have been advanced by a segment of •
the medical community. The legislation will
not make doctors into civil servants, tell them
where they may practice or limit their •
incomes, he said.
The legislation "will only eliminate the
overcharging of individual patients. Doctors'
incomes will depend on the fee structure the
profession works out for each speralty, and
the number of patients each physician
treats ' ' he said, noting that the government
is willing to consider a fee schedule that
would reward experience and special expel, .
rise."
Doctors will retain their status as licensed
erofessionals and oil continue to have a
targe say in the health care system. It is
physicians "who decide which patients to
admit to hospitals, when to admit them, and
when to discharge them." They deride on ' '
eligibility for surgery, drug therapy, lab
services, blood work and access to many
otherhealth-care professionals and facilities.
Most Ontario residents tinders—UM, Mr.
Elston said, mem-billing is being eliminated
solely to ensure all Ontanans enjoy equal
arms to health care, and to recover the $53
million in federal funding that is being held
back each year by Ottawa until Ontario ends
extra -billing.
When the OMA leadership talks about
fighting this principle, they should realize
that means fighting the people of Ontario,"
Mr. Elston said.
The health tninister praised the optome-
trists' association and the Ontario Dental
Association for working with the government
in a constructive manner to develop a
inedhanism to negotiate future fee adjust-
ments.
