o Medicare Is An Explosive Word, In BoSh Canada, United States EDITOR'S NOTE: Th. Sai katchewan doctor's ttrik and th congressional controversy over President Kennedy's medical car bill have focused attention on gov ernment attempts to help pay pri vate medical bills. But although their basic objective is similar,' the Canadian and Kennedy plans differ greatly in their scope and approach, as outlind In th fol lowing dispatch. 1 WASHINGTON (UPI) -t Medi care these days is an explosive word, whether it's pronounced in Canada or the United States. In Saskatchewan, the province's government supported medical care plan has triggered a doctors' strike. In the U.S. Senate, President Kennedy's medical care proposal is now being debated. Whether it wins or loses, it undoubtedly will be a political issue in next fall's congressional elections. Between the two plans, the nick name "medicare" is the one basic similarity. There are these two vast differences: The Saskatchewan plan provides for payment of doctors' bills, and the Kennedy bill does not; the Canadian plan covers all residents of the province, from cradle to grave, while the Kennedy bill an plies only to those Americans over 65. Hospital care the basic objec tive of the Kennedy proposal- is not a part of the Saskatchewan plan because all Canadian provin ces already sponsor a hospitaliza-, tion program. Here is a comparison of the two plans: Coverage Canada Everyone; from child to parent to grandparent, who has been a resident of Saskatchewan for three months prior to July 1, or will have had three months res idence by Dec. 31 of this year. American All persons now 65 or who reach 65 by 1967, whether or not they have paid into Social Security; after that, the plan would cover only those over 65 who are in the Social Security system. Benefits Canadian Medical and surgical services and new-born care; spe cialist services where the patient has been referred to a specialist by another physician; anesthesia; X-ray, laboratory and other diag nostic services; preventive medi cal services; some physiotherapy; dental services where provided by a dentist in conjunction With fa cial surgery. American Payment for 90 days of hospitalization a year, provided the patient pays at least $20, and up to a maximum of the first $90, of his hospitalization costs; payment of . up to 180 days of skilled nursing home care a year; 240 days of home health service visits by nurses; outpatient diag nostic services of the kind cus tomarily furnished by or through a hospital to its outpatients, pro vided the patient pays the first $20 of each diagnostic study; cer tain drugs, X-rays and the like if part of normal hospital care. Doctors Canadian Payment of 85 per cent of their 1959 rates. The gov ernment reasoned that the 15 per cent difference would be made up by increased business. Here is the way this provision came about: The Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons suggests rates which general practitioners may charge. Traditionally, doctors have billed their patients on the basis of 85 per cent of these sug gested charges. The government, therefore, decided to use the 1959 college of physicians scale and reimburse doctors at 85 per cent of these rates for the plan's first year of operation (July 1, 1962 to June 30, 1963). The rates them selves are not set for beyond June 1963. The Saskatchewan doctors are upset about this provision, saying there is nothing in the act to prevent the government from lowering payments below 85 per cent. Part 2 Training Your Dog Teaching A Dog To Sit Could Spare Its Life United Press International Each of the . basic obedience commands heel, sit, down, come, and stay has a practical applica tion to the everyday routines of dog ownership. One of the most valuable from the standpoint of your pet's health and safety is the command. "Sit." Even when he is leashed, a dog who cannot be con trolled by his owner may lunge heedlessly into traffic, endanger ing himself and others. Teaching a dog to sit immediately when you .halt is as important to his safety as cautioning a child to look both ways before crossing the street. This command can be taught after your dog has learned to heel on leash. Arrange your dog's choke collar so that it is up rather close behind his ears. Start walk ing with your dog at heel. Stop and give him the. con.mand, "Sit." At the same time hold the dog's head up with, the leash and press down on his hind quarters with your left hand, repeating, "Sit." Resume your walk, take a few steps and repeat the lesson. Prac tice this exercise for 10 or 15 min utes each day until your dog will sit promptly whenever you stop. Don t De discourages if your dog happens to be a slow learner or is a bit stubborn. If you are firm, patient and consistent in your work, each les son will bring some improvement. Organized obedience training courses with an instructor usually take from 10 to 12 weekly ses sions and daily practice is re quired. Training Tip: Arrange your training schedule so your dog is fed an hour or two before his training or afterward. The easiest way to be sure your dog gets the nutrition he needs for sound health and disposition is by feeding him a high-quality commercially pre pared dog food.

The Winchell's were former residents of the valley.

Financing Canadian Each single adult must pay an annual premium of $12 and each family, regardless of size, must pay $2-1. Added mon ey will come through a l'ii per cent increase in the retail sales tax and through a surcharge on personal income tax, amounting to about 1 per cent of an indivi dual's taxable income, and a 1 per cent boost in the provincial corpor ate income tax. On such a basis, a family earning $2,500 annually would contribute about $39 a year. American paid for by increase in Social Security taxes. These taxes would go up in two steps for employers, employes and the self-employed. The taxable base would rise from the first $4,800 earned to $5,200 on Jan. 1, 1963, in addition to an increase al ready scheduled to go into effect next year. The tax would be raised one-fourth of one per cent in 19S4. For example, a worker making $5,200 a year or more would have his Social Security taxes increased by $27.50 in 1964 over amounts now scheduled. Of this, $17.68 would be earmarked for health benefits. Options Canadian Originally the plan was pre-paid and compulsory. But recently the government deleted the compulsory element as it per tained to doctors. Doctors may continue private practice. Those who do not sign up for the medi care plan can bill their patient and the patients in turn can claim compensation from th govern ment, for the statutory amount only. American The bill encourages participation of private insurance companies and states. It also gives an individual the opportunity to keep his own private policies. In all cases th federal govern ment would pay for the basic health benefits outlined in th pro gram. This could be paid to states which set up their own medicare plans or to a private firm which is insuring an individual. The idea is to encourage persons and states to supplement the basic plan with additional coverage such as those which would take car of doctors' fees.
