That corporate dental plan isn’t paid for by employers. We pay for it. And what happens if I need multiple visits? Between multiple family members, those fillings, root canals, and crowns? Those funds run out fast, even with two health plans. This plan stops covering you at age 65. You know, the year old age security begins? Retirees, who are long without any corporate coverage, are getting dropped by the government coverage too? This whole thing is just another “look like we’re doing the right thing, but make as few people eligible so we can do it on the cheap” bullshit like they always do. Why not coverage for fucking all of us? I would happily drop my corporate dental plan to use a universal dental plan, fully aware that this would increase taxes.
Like, all you guys complaining about it either seem to not actually read about the subject or get your information from very biased sources.
I’m not saying this plan is perfect, I’m not saying your lives are perfect and that you don’t deserve a true universal dental plan but the subject is far more complex isn’t it? Because health is managed by provinces and it’s super fucking political when the federal government touches it… it took a lot of work from Jagmeet Singh to get just that expansion of the current plan.
Stop with the fucking cynism and fight for better instead of whatever the fuck you guys are doing in this thread.
