zi Re 4 Castlégar News _ August 2s. 1995 BUSINESS" HEALTH CARE —€OSTS ARE A By KEN SMITH CP Economics Writer There's a time bomb ticking away in your house. It's called health care .or, to be more specific, what the quality of that care is going to be and who's going to pay for it — and how? The bill now is about .$23.4 billion a year, and everyone agrees it’s going to get a lot bigger — especially as the number of elderly people, the ones who most need medical care, grows. It's time, says James Nininger, president of the Ottawa-based Conference Board of Canada, for a detailed study of what's involved, what the costs are going to be and — since Canada is committed to a state-paid health system — where the money is going to come from. Today, about one in 12 Canadians is over the age of 65 and likely to need costly health care now or in the near future. By the year 2000, if present trends continue, one Canadian in eight will be over that age line. That's only 15 years down the pike and, if the prediction proves correct, there is bound to be a huge ALYSIS surge in health costs, unless Canadians are willing'to give up their present standard of care. They're not likely to do that so, unless some planning is started quickly, there'll be a sudden scramble in a few years to try to find some money to pay those burgeoning bills. Hospital Association in Ottawa’ that while health, costs have been rising, Canada’s expenditures as a percentage of the gross national product have remained relatively constant. it QUALILTY DECLINING The result has been a decline in the quality of health-care services, he says. “This matter has to be resolved soon . . - “Fundamental questions as to what type of health care Canadians want, how this care should be delivered and who should pay for it have not yet been properly addressed. “It now is time to do so.” : There's little evidence, Nininger says, that health costs are severely out of control so far. But it’s not clear whether current levels of funding are enough to meet future needs. Government deficits at all levels have led to cuts in spending on health programs, which has resulted in so-called “rationalization” ’such as reducing the number of available hospital beds. Nininger says recent estimates now expect that the number of hospital days — that is, the total number of days patients spend in hospitals — will amost double by the end of this century to 84 million from 43 million today. COST WILL DOUBLE That means health costs will double if they increase at the same rate as population changes. And he adds that it’s not unrealistic to svggest that health costs are going to rise faster than Canada’s general living costs. Nininger}wants to see some active public debate on what should be done about health care and its financing. Health care-has--run into problems _ because. government spending hasn't kept pace with rapidly rising health costs and the demand for services, he adds. “This trend will continue in the future because of fiscal restraint brought about by the continuation of budget deficits.” What's needed, he says, is for Canadians to decide | Tour firms eye seniors OTTAWA (CP) — The tourism industry is slowly aking up to a new potential growth market _— senior travellers. = 1 ST ike Stuart Cranston, 65, who got-the travel bug after her-four children, in¢luding-Ganadian figure skating champion Toller Cranston, grew up. . Or Claire MacDonald, 62, now retired as a National Film Board photo librarian. ~ “Seniors may not be taking as many.ttips as the rest’ of the population, but they tend to go on longer trips and to far-away destinations,” says Gordon Taylor, manager of research and analysis for Tourism Canada. Cranston has visited Mexico, Lebanon, Greece and Afghanistan. She says she and husband, Monte, 71, have “no desire to go down to Florida for six months; we're interested in seeing different places.” MacDonald's travel list includes Hawaii, Aruba, Tokyo, New Zealand and Norway. She's also sailed down China's Yangtze River, travelled through the Canadian Arctic, and last year saw the Passion Play in Oberammeigua, West Nininger noted in-a recent address to the Canadian | Germany. While Taylor doesn’t expect a real boom, he says there is bound to be a steady increase in seniors travelling as the overall population ages. About 2.5 million Canadians are 65 or older, and it's estimated that by the year 2000, seniors will make up 18 to 20 per cent of Canada's population. Surrey Co-op closes doors after 64 years SURREY (CP) — The Sur- rey Co-operative Association, once one of the largest co-ops in Canada, is closing after 64 years of business, a victim of heavy debts and high inter- est rates. Newman Callander began working for the co-op in 1945, when it ran gas stations and sold: feed, a shop- aot, He said 22 employees were laid off Friday, and an addi- tional 40 will lose their jobs by the end of this week. “Dozens of long-term .em- ployees who've been with the co-op for 40 years” who will be looking for work, he said. But he said loyal feed cus- tomers are just as sorry the ping mall and served thou- sands of customers. Now, after a 40-year career in which he rose to purchas- ing manager for the co-op’s Abbotsford feed plant, Call- ander is again looking for work, “We enjoyed a good feed business for a number of years,” said Callander. “We're going to be sad to see it go."
