Yes to more medical choices

Dear Editor:

Roxanne Davies may be sur.
prised to learn that not only do T not
presume to speak on behalf of all
people bul that my position is not
that different from hers (News, Jan,
30).

Ms. Davies wrote in support of

the chiropractors who believe that a
$2 per month increase in MSP pre-
miums would allow the fee inereas-

es they want as well as the climina-

tion of the $5 patient fee.

Other so-called “supplementary
practitioners” have advocated simi.
lar positions recently.

Tdowt know whether the actuar-
ially fair premium increase would
be $2 or $6, but the concept of
allowing more choices for actuari-
itlly fair prentiums is worth consid-

ering. U hive written the Minister of

Health and urged that the sugues-
tion be studied,

When | was asked to comment
on this issue by the News [said that
few constittents have ever
approached me on the issue bac dat
L hoped more would now.

Ms, Davies should kaow that no
one has rejected any suggestions
for resolving problems taced by
supplementary health practitioners
and their patients.

between Dogdoo Park to the cast

The lady says she always picks

experience is thar if there isn't

someone around to plire at dog

And with colder temperatures recently our snowmaking’s
been in high gear so ski-out conditions are excellent

all the way to the valley.

With our incredible snow-making capabilities
(10 more guns added to our army this year for a total of 47)

we can make a track of snow one foot deep by one foot wide
and one hundred miles long — in just one day.

BE THE BEST, SO
PUT OUR SERVICE
TO THE TEST.

In fact, our snowmaking and grooming teams
can provide a surface that lasts longer and performs better
than the real thing.

When it comes to snowmaking on Blackcomb we aim to please.
