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.

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.
An easy-to-read chart, giving
complete instructions for training
your dog in the five basic obedi
ence commands, may be obtained

Calif ornioii Arrives By Plane
For Visit With Camas Sisters
By MRS. DAVE THRUSH
Mrs. Nobel Standley, Mrs. Allen
Cooper and daughter, Kristine,
Mrs. Don LaBranch and daughter,
Gail, all of Camas Valley; and
Mrs.'W. R. Merchen from Powers
drove to Eugene recntly to meet
the women's sister, Mrs. Lois
Underwood of Bell, Calif. Mrs. Un
derwood flew to Eugene to spend
a couple of weeks with her sisters
and other relatives around Camas.
While they were in Eugene they
visited Mrs. Merchen's husband
"Swede," who is in Sacred Heart
Hospital where he is recuperating
from major surgery.
Relative Visit
Runts at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Elliot the past week
were Mrs. Elliot s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Eric Holm of Escandido
rnlif.
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Church and
son, Jack, of Portland spent the
past week visiting M r s.
Church's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Parrett, and their son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ev
erett Church and family.
Mrs. A. A. Schafer of Camas
Valley and her daughter, Mrs,
Kenneth Ruppert of Myrtle Creek,
drove Mrs. Schafer's granddaugh
ter and Mrs. Ruppert s daughter,
Vickie Ruppert, to Medford Sun
day where she boarded a jet plane
for Los Angeles to spend an Indef
inite time visiting numerous rela
tives. Booths Visited
Recent visitors at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Booth were
their daughter Mrs. Richard Win-
chcll and two children from Rose
ville, Calif. The Winchell's were
former residents of the valley.
Other recent visitors of the
Booths were a son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen
Funderlic, who have sold their
home in Indiana and are moving
to Sacramento, Calif., where Fun
derlic will be employed at the new
Keys Fiber Plant; and Mrs.
Booth's brother and sister-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Johnson from
Omar, Utah. Johnson has recently
retired as municipal judge of the
Utah city.
American Doctors' charges are
not involved..
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.
