    Our liberal federal government has begun to include dental coverage under our healthcare. They started with elderly and those under 18 (I believe), but have expanded it recently.

    It should eventually be “free” for everyone, just like our healthcare is (paid through taxes).

      I’d like to point out this is only because NDP (New Democratic Party, further left than our Liberals) got enough seats.

          Now if only we could force that federal liberal government to tax the rich and expand pharmacare, dental care, and cover mental health care.

        Wow. That’s a much more inclusive plan compared to when they first introduced it!
