Nova Scotia to Introduce Public Medical Insurance Plan
Health Minister R A Donahoe announced Nova Scotia will start a public medical insurance plan on April 1 1969 named Nova Scotia Medical Services Insurance. It will require no premiums for residents with three months residency and cost about 20 million dollars in its first year. Funding will be split roughly half from federal and provincial governments, with the province using general tax revenues and likely raising taxes. A medical advisory commission recommended boosting the five percent provincial sales tax to seven or eight percent and broadening the base to include vehicles and auto parts.
