Previous names of the provincial government plan were OMSIP and OHSIP. OHSIP was later shortened to the present OHIP.
I remember, as a child, hearing the radio advertising in the late 1960s, over and over for weeks, about the changeover from OMSIP to OHSIP. I have no memory, however, of the change from OHSIP, but that must have been in the 1970s or early 1980s.
OMSIP (Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan) was established and enacted on July 1, 1966. On October 1, 1969, the Ontario Health Services Insurance Plan began as a provincially run and federally assisted (under the federal Medical Care Insurance Act for establishment of a national medicare plan).

In this sentence, please note the bold part: "For those Canadian citizens or permanent residents moving to Ontario from another province, the province of previous residency will continue to cover them during the three month waiting period (except Quebec, where coverage only lasts two months after leaving)."
That sentence is not correct. Quebec's coverage ends on the last day of the second month since one leaves the province. Please see: http://www.ramq.gouv.qc.ca/fr/citoyens/assurancemaladie/quitter/exterieur.shtml. Therefore, I removed the phrase in the bracket. 70.53.195.14 ( talk) 20:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Two points: (1) the link is dead, and it needs to be corrected; (2) links inserted into an English-language encyclopedia should direct the reader to a source written in the English language. Links to French-language sources should be used only in the French-language edition of Wikipedia.

The result of the proposal was NO CONSENSUS to move page to OHIP, per discussion below. Our general rules of avoiding abbreviations on one hand, and using common names on the other hand, come into conflict here. In this case, there seems to be strong support for sticking with the former of the two, as OHIP is not sufficiently well-known outside of Ontario. - GTBacchus( talk) 02:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Ontario Health Insurance Plan → OHIP — This is the name that it is most commonly known, and WP:NAME convention is to use the most common name. — GreenJoe 03:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account
Wikipedia's naming conventions.I support the move, therefore, on the basis that it is easily the most commonly-used name for the subject, it is the dominant use of the acronym, and the existence of any other OHIPs can be addressed through the simple use of a DAB statement at the top of the page. This is a no-brainer. Skeezix1000 15:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
The article could be expanded by discussing past and current provisions for opting out: Although very few medical providers or eligible Ontario residents choose to opt-out of OHIP, it might be worth noting any exceptions to mandatory participation. For example, do doctors have the option to bill patients rather than billing OHIP, letting the patients seek reimbursement from OHIP? Also, what if an eligible resident neglects to enroll or chooses not to enroll in OHIP, possibly because he/she is a libertarian opposed to government involvement in health insurance, or because he/she has a communication or mental impairment and is unaware of the program or otherwise incapable of completing the necessary forms? Also, are some groups, e.g. Mennonites, exempt due to their religious beliefs? Tetsuo ( talk) 04:46, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Physicians in Ontario are allowed to opt out but price controls forbid them from charging more than the OHIP price schedule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.233.20.164 ( talk) 23:57, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
We currently have a 'delisted care' section for procedures that were once covered but are no longer.
Shouldn't we have a 'listed' section for procedures which are currently covered?

this article says the program is funded by payroll taxes. That's not quite accurate. It's funded out of all the taxes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.233.20.164 ( talk) 15:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
It would be good to know how much comes from each area, personal income taxes (by income range), employer contributions, income tax surcharges for each income range, transfer payments. 96.63.53.152 ( talk) 14:32, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
