YA Lf Th TERY 4 ALAR EER I RIN AST 3 at BY : 3 no ainsi bets A WY VOR 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, March 4, 1981 Wilbur slams doctors for overcharging Door-to-door canvassing is making an angry woman out of Margaret Wilbur, the NDP candidate in Durham York. "We all hear horror stories about people not getting the medical attention they need- well, the people that belong to those stories are to be found. Just knock on their "doors she said last week. "They will tell you about opted-out specialists being the only ones available in their communities; about _ receiving dunning letters from collection agencies and lawyers acting on behalf of opted-out doctors who want their extra money; about deciding not to go to their Specialists for regular care because they can't afford the extra fee. "And these are people who pay the full OHIP premium and get a second-rate medical service." Speaking at a rallying meeting for campaign canvassers, Mrs. Wilbur told her workers "not to be shy about bringing up the issue of medicare when you're talking to people. "You will find that is one -issue -which makes - people mad, just as it has made me mad to see that essential services are not accessible to people in need. "We can lay this at the feet of the Davis government," Mrs. Wilbur charged. "I received in the mail yesterday, a Position Paper from the Association on Non- Participating Physicians of Ontario - a group made up of about 600 doctors who have opted out of OHIP.They want to make us understand why they have opted out. "These are people who make between $22 and $30 an hour (Ontario Medical Asso- ciation estimates for 1980) after - their professional expenses for offices, etc. were paid. These are still the highest paid professionals in our society with net annual incomes ranging from $54,000 to $81,000. "The Tories only move to end opting out was to give doctors an 11.5 per cent raise in OHIP rates in January 1980. Many doctors took the extra money and continued to extra bill their patients. If the doctors get the 13.9 per cent increase they are now asking for, the OHIP schedule will have risen a very tidy 66 per cent in the last five years. "Not many of us can boast of such an increase in our incomes!"' "Mrs. Wilbur described the - real issue as one in which the government must establish a reasonable level of income for doctors and get them to accept it. "The Conservatives are SMALL BUSINESS New Democrats will help men and women with good ideas get started -and keep going-We will: -- *Start a strong "Buy Canadian" program; *Make capital available to small businesses; *Provide research and development assistance to small companies; *Offer financial, technological and marketing advice; *Make these programs work by establishing a small business advocacy agency. Small businesses provide 40% of all jobs in Ontario. They have a big part to play in getting the economy moving again. New Democrats will make sure they can Authorized by Durham York NDP, .... 108 Water St., Port Perry 985-7379 3 ly LIRR RY LAI SULIA LYRE Ant STL RY StS wi GREER EEL RO Do od A FLITE AN PROS, AL SI A G2 3 Vie £33 RAREEY PASM LES Blackstock and area news by Joyce Kelly Sorry that Mrs. Robert Ford was rushed to the Port Perry Hospital on Friday afternoon after suffering a spell in her home.

"An NDP government in Ontario would negotiate a fair level of income for doctors with the OMA, using binding arbitration if necessary. It would be pro- fessional misconduct to charge more than this esta- blished OHIP schedule." Mrs. Wilbur stated that there are other payment mechanisms for doctors that should be encouraged. The fee-for-service payment system that we now have can encourage over-servicing, she said. Gerald Kelly and family.

Reverend Linstead will have to be informed by next Sunday of any who are inter- ested in a membership or Communicant class, as we are now getting into the Lenten Season. Reverend Linstead's message drew attention to modern society that leans toward conforming to the easy ways of self interest. In the past, other societies that neglected the moral stan- dards of the Ten Command- ments were destroyed and we'll experience the same fate, if we continue and refuse to be transformed to a different life. When Christ is in our lives, we become transformed into beauty, as drab and seemingly useless rocks are transformed when an ultra-violet light is turned upon them.
