News Release
July 25, 1983
The Medical Reform Group of Ontario is pleased that the Federal
government has published a position paper on Medicare, with a commitment
to introduce a Canada Health Act in the fall. We agree wholeheartedly
with the broad principles as stated in the paper, and specifically
with its condemnation of user fees and extra-billing. The mechanisms
by which these practices might be prevented are not spelled out
in sufficient detail in the position paper for comment, but we hope
that the Act itself will be strong enough to create a single-class
health care system which fully embodies the principle of unrestricted
access to necessary care by all Canadians. We also note that introduction
of the Act Into Parliament will not guarantee its passage intact
before the next election. We therefore urge Members of Parliament,
health care workers, and Canadians in general to support the passage
of a strong Canada Health Act.
