Health Week and indigent care funding clash in Winnipeg
The editorial argues Health Week highlights a drive by Winnipeg General Hospital to raise indigent patient per diem by 50 percent, forcing a community debate on who bears rising costs. It notes hospital costs total 7.50 daily with 4.00 for care, 75-cent provincial grants, and a 3.00 daily loss to be covered by others. It calls for public action as liquor profits and federal grants rise, pressing Ottawa and provincial governments to address taxpayer- funded shortfalls.
