neers reeset rsa Doctors close to being civil servants ...0Ut without benefits by Murray Moore The chief of staff at Huronia District Hospital is concerned more with the tone rather tthan the specifics of Emmett Hall's | recommendat- ions for improvement of Canada's _ health-care system. Hall's call to curtail extra-billing (charging a patient in excess of the money the patient will be refunded from OHIP) is 'not of too much _ significance" here, Dr. Hollister King says, because the local family physicians work within OHIP and do not extra-bill. However, the option to leave the plan should be available, and _ the decision to opt out be left up to the individual doctor. Otherwise, King says, "doctors are closer to becoming like civil servants, but without the benefits, such as_ pensions, holiday time, and study time."' King commented that it seemed to him that people were reacting to Hall's report without having read it. He is one of three or four doctors belonging to the 20- member Ontario Council of Health, the senior advisory body to the minister of health. © This body, he stated, wouldn't be making any comment until it has studied the report. King said he un- derstood Hall has concluded that doctors' incomes have not. kent. pace with inflation since the early 70's. On the one hand he understands Hall to say that physicians should be adequately paid, and on the other hand, that premiums should be dropped and_ that doctors not be allowed to opt out. If that's the case, he says, health will be financed out of general Fee schedules have been agreed on after "fairly vigourous negotiation." The medical profession, King says, has not adopted a union-like stance to date, but when binding arbitration is suggested, it sounds to him as if society expects the profession to act like a union. This would, he says, move the profession, away "from the profession we would like to have." Polling booth location assigned yesterday. She said she had approached her member of council 'but he wouldn't do anything for us. We also met with the public works and it looked for a time that they might be able to get a special permit for us to work on our place after supper...but it appears that has failed too even though one of the public works officials said his department has worked after 6 p.m lots of times this year." - The Sixth Street couple plan to attend Monday Anti-noise bylaw unfair says couple A Sixth Street, Midland couple who asked that their names not be published for the time being, feel a municipal anti-noise bylaw is unfair. The couple was recently charged under the bylaw for making noise after 6 p.m. The pair has been reconstructing their home which was hit by fire some time ago. "We've tried to make our place look nice and enhance the area so you can imagine what a shock it was to be charged," the wife told this newspaper night's regular council meeting. They hope others in the town who are opposed to the bylaw will show up as well. revenue, and taxes will go up. Society will have to chose between higher taxes or something akin to what it has now, he says. King pointed out that employers now pay half the premiums of many people. Arbitration Binding arbitration could well benefit doctors, if, for example, the province awarded an increase less than the rate of inflation, but "most of us would hate to see the arrangement go that route."
