Members of the Hudson s Bay route association a group formed around the turn of the Century to promote the use of port facilities at Churchill usually see things differently and go through an annual ritual of condemning the Eastern vested interests for preventing the development of the port and see some dark conspiracy in refusal of authorities to take advantage of exceptional conditions in the port. With More than 100 ships Idle in the Mouth of the St. Lawrence holding up the move ment of Prairie wheat and other Grain the people of Churchill Are staging an All out Battle to get the port of Churchill open now. Observers accompanying Eskimo vocational students on their annual Airlift Back to their communities North of Churchill report that open water in varying amounts was never out of sights from the time they left Churchill to the time they reached Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island. Temperatures at this Northern Community have reached 80 above in the past three Days and stores Are doing a brisk business in bathing suits suntan lotion and Mosquito repellents.

Medicare storm lit sask. Continued wan. It survived a change of government from the the new democratic the liberals but problems of financing have kept it in the fore front of political controversy. Matters came to a head at the Spring session of the legislature when the longest and most acrimonious debate of Premier Ross Thatcher s four years in office erupted Over the imposition by his Liberal government of utilization fees for medical before the fees came into effect at the end of april Over the loud protests of former Kcf Premier Woodrow Lloyd and his new democratic party opposition Saskatchewan residents paid virtually no out of pocket charges for doctors services. Insurance costs were financed by increased general taxation rates and annual premiums of for a single person and for a family. In 1967, premiums covered 22 per cent of the plan s expenses with the remainder coming out of Public funds. The government said it introduced its fees of for each Call at a doctor s office and for each House Call by a doctor because it was alarmed at the plan s increasing costs. It said the fees were designed to Stop abuses of the scheme by patients because the medical. Service they received bore no relationship to the amount they paid. Regardless of political consequences we were obliged to take some action to restrain health says pre Mier Thatcher. Since or. Thatcher s govern ment won a new term of office Only last fall he is unlikely to suffer any immediate political damage in the provincial Field. But utilization fees have been cited As a Factor in Saskatchewan s performance in last tuesday s Federal election. It was the Only province in which despite prime minister Trude Aii s personal popularity the liberals finished As Low As third in the popular vote Cap Turing Only two of Saskatchewan s 13 seats to five for the progressive conservatives and six for the nip which in creased its support by More than voters. Conservatives had won All Saskatchewan seats in. The two previous elections. Besides assailing or. Thatcher s provincial liberals for what or. Lloyd called a tax on the the nip campaigned vigorously against the Federal conservatives for the i r announced intentions of modifying the National medical care plan. Or. Thatcher whose province will enter the National scheme along with British Columbia at its inception argues that the Federal government eventually will also be forced to introduce utilization fees. It is too Early to assess whether the fees have done what they were supposed to do in Saskatchewan but one of its Side effects has been additional paper work for the patients. When the fees were introduced Many doctors who had previously sent their Bills directly to the provincial medical care insurance commission began Billing the patients forc ing them to make their own insurance claims. A commission spokesman said about 11 per cent of its Bills since last april have been submitted by patients As opposed to 4.2 per cent during 1967, be fore the fees were imposed. While few Saskatchewan Resi dents now argue about the Mer its of medical care insurance it self it was a subject of bitter debate when the provincial scheme was first proposed in 1961. Although a minority of Doc tors supported the plan the opposition was spearheaded by or. H. D. Dalgleish of Saska Toon then president of the Saskatchewan College of physicians and surgeons and now president of the Canadian medi Cal association. At the time the College based its opposition chiefly on the ground that the plan gave the government too much control Over the activities of. The medi Cal profession. Today to is generally accepted in Saskatchewan that state supported medical insurance is As much a part of the 20th Century As Jet aircraft. We accept that the medicare plan is Here to says one doctor but we Reserve the right to talk about what form it should says he remains philosophically opposed to the principle of Universal medi Cal insurance As it operates in Saskatchewan. He has service which is free at the Point of demand results in unlimited demand and that prior to the imposition of utilization fees the demand was catching up with the Supply doctors. Doctors opposing the National scheme also join its political opponents in citing economic priorities. They argue that it should have been delayed at least be cause it will take up economic resources needed for building More medical schools training More doctors and encouraging doctors to go to under Doc meanwhile the nip has been joined by some labor Church and other organizations in pro testing against utilization fees. Groups called citizens commit tees for the defence of medi care have held rallies accusing the government of abandoning the principle that medical costs would be evenly distributed. Or. Lloyd contended in the legislature that the government failed to establish that in creased medical costs resulted in any significant Way from abuse of medical services rather than other factors such As improved services and treat ment of patients who had previously put off seeing a doctor for financial reasons. The logic of the govern ment s position is that it believes great numbers of people probably break their legs rup Ture themselves plan a baby every because they paid a medicare Premium and Are compelled by some inner drive to get their Money s he says. Or. Thatcher says that unless health costs Are controlled the plan could become so costly it would have to be scrapped. He says the plan is basically Good and that his government is acting to save it and improve it. We Are not taxing the sick Only asking those who Are using these services to pay six or per cent of the government officials note that social welfare programs pay All medical costs for indigents including utilization fees. Since the Saskatchewan plan went into operation costs have risen about five per cent a year to a total of in 1967. These figures May or May not be matched in the Federal scheme. But tiie Saskatchewan experience has established that state run medical insurance once in Force is politically sacred.
