Hospital Insurance did not create the shortage—IT MERELY BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF EVERYONE. Let’s look at the reasons for. the present shortage of hospital beds. Lack of.money during the depression days brought the constructio! hospital beds to a standstill. 1h Of needed The shortage of building supplies during the war, and right after, prevented needed hospital construction. = The large numbers of people who moved to B.C. to live in recent yedrs threw an extremely heavy strain upon the existing hospital beds. The situation was further aggravated when Hospital Insurance started. Many people who would probably not have been able to afford hospital care, suddenly found that they were able to go into hospital without having to worry about the expense. In early 1949, the government took immediate steps to help the municipalities correct this situation. To encourage hospital construction, generous financial aid was offered to the communities. Financial aid that is unequalled by any other province in Canada. One fact, however, is repeatedly overlooked.

This is not a new policy. It has always been up to the lity to build its hospitals, It is up to each community to find out what it needs, draw up its plans, select its site, and raise its portion of the cost. The provincial government acts only in providing the rest of the money (in conjunction with the Dominion grants) and advice. The only part that is new since Hospital Insurance started, is the increased amount of money put up by the provincial government. Wherever there is a bed shortage, it is up to the local authorities to see that the beds which are needed are provided: Under the present set up, the community only has to raise its share of the cost, and the Pp ial gov t the rest (the Dominion government gives a grant of $1,000 a bed). At all times, the provincial government is willing and anxious to help communities solve their hospital problems, but it cannot be stressed too much that the responsibility for providing hospital beds rests completely with the community concerned. Many communities have been quick to accept the government’s increased cash assistance. As a result, hospital construction in B.C. has climbed steadily during the past two years, and is continuing to climb. In the ten year period before the government increased its financial assistance, there were only an average of 85 beds built per year. Since the government started its increased financial assistance, this figure has climbed to over 285 beds per year, and is climbing fast. This year it will be 571 beds, and next year will probably see over 1,000 started. At the present time, the bed situation in B.C. is not as bad as some would make out. Leading consultants say the size and population:of B.C. calls for an average of five beds for every one thousand people. With the addition of 572 beds during the past two yéars, we now average this figure, comparing favorably with any area in the U.S. and Canada. In fact, by the end of 1952, an anticipated increase of 2,243 beds will make our bed situation as good as any and better than most. Hospital I Pp i do not pay for the building of new beds, but they do pay for the running of them. It should be remembered that for every new hospital bed placed into use, between $3,500 and $4,000 is needed every year just to run it. It only takes about 500 new beds in B.C. to raise the cost of running the hospitals by over $1,800,000 a year, which is equal to a premium increase of over $4.00 a year. After the present needs are met, how far can we afford to let hospital construction expand? As hospital construction expands, costs increase. As costs increase, premiums go up. How much can we afford? Next week, we will give you the facts on ‘What about private Hospital Insurance plans?” Be sure to read these messages. They deal with your Hospital Insurance plan—a plan which has already paid over $40,000,000 for more than 500,000 hospital cases, and is providing benefits for thousands _ more each month. B.C.
