As the federal government's national dental insurance program continues to roll out, a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives argues that the plan leaves too many Canadians without coverage and need an additional $1.45 billion in funding.

    How many people making above $45k don’t have private dental insurance through their employer?

      Me, at some point.

      Lots of contracting jobs, software development in my case, offer no health care plan, you have to go with the RAMQ insurance, which leaves you with no dental plan.

        True. If you’re self-employed, you’re screwed.

          Not just self-employed, but also contracted out by a company like CGI (used as an example, I’m sure they have a dental plan)
