New Hospital Premiums Set In Manitoba Plan
G L Pickering announces new premium rates for the Manitoba Hospital Services Plan effective Jan 1 1961. Six month benefits will cost 18 for single persons and 36 for families, up from prior levels. Monthly payroll deductors begin June 1960, municipal semi annual payers start Oct 15 to Nov 30 1960. A plan study led to the rate changes to fund expanded services, despite 1959 surplus and 1960 projected deficit. A stabilization fund is set to smooth future premiums. Administrative expenses remain about 4 percent of expenditures. Ninety six cents of each dollar income goes to hospital services.
