My company has a package with dental coverage. The difference between that package and the one without is approximately the cost of the dental coverage, so I’d actually lose money if we didn’t use all of it. Does this mean I’m not eligible?
You’re priviledge enough to have access to dental insurance coverage. That’s more than the majority of Canadians. These types of programs are for those who can’t afford them.
It targets the most needy, you’re arguing for equality, this is not equality, it’s equity…
I’m I saying your life is perfect? Nope, I’m sure you could get better dental insurance. But you’re in a position where you can argue, poke your employer about it, it’s already offered to you.
Old people and poor people are not in your position, they can’t have it.
Plus, if you went to the dentist twice a year, like you’re supposed to, I’m sure your coverage would pay for itself easy.
I question your reading comprehension. The dental coverage costs very nearly as much as it pays for. If I remember correctly, I have to use over 90% of what it pays out to break even. This means if I only use 90% of my ‘coverage’ I actually lose money. My feelings of gratitude for my privilege are immeasurable, much like that of a serf whose master only beats him once a week instead of twice. In fact, the gratitude for access to this ‘coverage’ is so great that I don’t know of a single employee who has opted for it. Now, tell me, when is the last time you heard of a Canadian employee turning down dental benefits? I hadn’t even conceived of such a thing until I came across this.
