per cent of the total cost of a lengthy illness so to help the members of the halton cooperative medical services take care of the other 60 per cent the board of directors have worked out a new major medical plan to take the place of the catastrophe plan this plan will have a 100 deductible which means that after a member has paid 100 over and above available hospital coverage by the government and surgical coverage by the cooperative the plan may pay as high as 80 per cent of the remaining expenses these expenses may include hospi ta extras not covered by the gov eminent plan medical care
