Roblin Pushes Voluntary Manitoba Medical Plan
Premier Roblin proposed a voluntary comprehensive medical care plan for Manitoba with provincial help limited to those unable to afford coverage. He claimed costs would be around 10 million annually, far less than the federal compulsory scheme. The plan would grant free coverage to the needy and require others to pay, with about one third of Manitobans expected to qualify for provincial support. He said the plan should be voluntary, not compulsory, and that all citizens should be covered by public or private plans, with government aid only for the needy.
