From the newspaper, Evangeline, of September 23, 1959:
"Dr. H.F. MacKay, a member of the commission which administers the natio- nal hospital insurance plan in Nova Scotia, said today that patients who have received dental treatment and drunkards constitute the greatest number of rejects among those who go to the commission seeking reimbursement for hospital expenses. He added that while he recongnized the necessity of helping alcoholics, still it must be understood that hospitals are not the places for sobering up such individuals."
Well, it didn't take them long to find a category of sick to exclude from the care given by the hospital insurance law.
