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.

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.

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?

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.

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...
