The decade I was too poor to see the dentist gave me a lot of anxiety. I didn’t have any real issues but any random pain was met with worries about cavities, and I had to get my wisdom teeth removed years after it would have been ideal. It’s great that poor people are finally being looked after.
On the other hand, I hate that I pay a high marginal tax rate and I don’t qualify for this. I can afford to see a dentist, I just wish this program was for everyone.
Same with pharmacare, I just want a full rollout for everyone as part of healthcare. My wife needs medicine that costs thousands a year and if she didn’t get benefits through work it would be over $10k out of pocket annually. Most families could not afford that.
We’re fortunate and I acknowledge that, I just want a simpler system with better coverage.
I have two minds on this
