dental is so important for overall health im really surprised its separated.
It’s very strange that teeth are considered optional. Eyes too.
eyes I can sorta see as its realtively cheap and easy for basic correction and usually actual medical eyes is covered. At least in the us its part of medical insurance. Bacteria from mouth can move to body though and inflamation in the mouth can be detrimental for a lot of common medical conditions.

My wife and I would qualify today if I hadn’t got a lump sum layoff package last year.
Gotta wait until my tax return shows I’m not making 2 years wages in a single year…
Man it’s so cool that you guys have dental care.
You could too, you just need to borrow from the future, with interest. The poor of the future will be screwed by austerity, in order to save the rich from higher taxes, we’ve already rolled back the capital gains tax over 250k.
All of the money spent now on pro-active regular checkups and prevention will limit the amount of reactive expensive emergency surgeries later
So what, it shouldn’t be funded as a perpetual non-infrastructure program?
The same could be same as healthcare, yet if we didn’t fund it we’d be paying perpetual interest on it.

I love this. It’s classic FUD and it shows a complete lack of understanding of the prime benefit of a consolidated service.
This is a great moment for you, as you have SUCH potential to learn a great deal. Will you?
We had the second worst GDP growth in the 38 OECD countries since Trudeau was elected which was below inflation, negative productivity growth the last few years, and youre telling me some nonsense that debt doesn’t matter and that programs funding non-infrastructure spending don’t need to be funded.
Is it an aversion to taxing the rich and increasing capital gains taxes?
Trudeau resigned, you can’t use him as a talking point any longer. This is like still blaming Harper.
Except its the exact same cabinet. But sure, I’ll give him 4 years and see what changes, not like we have a choice. Cutting capital gains and making Guilbeault environmental minister is a funny first step but let’s see.
Thank you for this, I will make sure to apply the first day I can!
I will never, ever qualify for the benefit.
I’m pretty sure some of my taxes will go to eventually fund someone who does qualify, though. And, having been VERY poor as a child and again in my 20s, I know the effects of inequal access to preventative care.
So little of my taxes will go to pay for this, but I’m really happy it will, as my current state is costly and didn’t have to be, and I don’t wish it on anyone!
