SOUTH Richmond Hill All Hours TU. 4-1812 FLOWERS FOR EVERY OCCASION To Compile History Maple Socials Edgeley Farm Forum was di- vided in its opinion as to the need for a National Health In- surance Plan when the subject was the topic for discussion at the December meeting held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Usher. Governments â€"â€" Dominion, Provincial and Municipal are ac- tive in the health field. Should there be a national insurance plan by which the needs of all citizens would be provided for through government action was the question for discussion, as well as, “What are the medical, hospital and other health ser- vices in your community? Are they satisfactory? If not, what are the main problems? And can voluntary programs be properly developed and expanded to meet these problems? Would these problems he met by a national insurance plan?” In this area there are the York Co-operative Medical Services and the York County Health Unit. The York Co-op Surgical plan is well under way. The forum felt that these services 'are reasonably satisfactory, but thought that the people in 'the lower income brackets \ do not use them to the best advantage.

' Groceries A survey has shown that only one-quarter of all families with incomes under $1500. a year carry some type of health care insurance. The proportion was higher as income increased. It is the people with the greatest need who are carrying the least protection. The Forum members felt that the existing health programs are satisfactory as far as they go, but there are many expenses which they do not cover. They recommended that an education- al program be set up to better inform people of the services available. The forum groups were agreed that voluntary pro- grams can hardly be developed to reach the lower income fam- ilies. They were divided in their opinion as to whether these problems could be solved by a national health insurance plan.
