This is what Ontario is doing to help you protect ut.' Most of us get sick or have an accident at one time or another. And left to our own resources, serious illness coutd often cripple us financially. So the government here in Ontario has developed a plan to provide health care for everybody, any ti me if's needed. That plan is called Ontario Health Insurance Plan- OHIP. (The "H" stands for "Health, "not "Hospital.") The Plan is administered by your Ontario government for us, the people of the province, who pay into it regularly s0 we can benef it when we need it. How does the Ontario Health Insura nce Plan work? Like this: First, you apply for coverage - on a "Group" basis where you work, or you can pick up an application formr at any bank, hospital, or OHIP district office. Next, you'll pay modest prerniums to cover yourself and your f amily towards the time when health care is needed. People on welf are, students, and others whose incomes f ait below a certain level, are eligible for assistance in paying their OHIP premiums. No one is excluded for lack of money, but you must apply for such premium assistance. Benefits inclùde: physicians' services standard ward hospital accommoda- tion'- X.ýrayÉ -Iaboratory tests'- drugs required in hospita - operating and delivery roomfs - radiotherapy'e chiropractic, osteopathic, and chi ropo- dist services'- eye examinations'- occupationat therapy'- physiotherapy - speech therapy - nursi ng and- medical care in nursing homes and homes for the aged'- Home Gare service'- ambulance'- certain dental surgery. Payments may cover costs entirely or only in part, deperîding on the nature 0f the dlaim. But remember: Memnbership in the Ontario Health Insurance Plan is not automnatic - you have to apply for it. And be sure to carry your identification card or OHIP number at ail times. If you would like more information', visit any OHIP district off ice.
