Canada is rolling out its dental care program. Here's what you need to know By: John61 - 12/12/2023 Get link Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Other Apps ByRaisa PatelOttawa BureauMonday, December 11, 2023OTTAWA—The federal government has unveiled the details of a dental insurance plan both the Liberals and New Democrats say is one of the largest social programs to be implemented in Canadian history.The program, called the Canadian Dental Care Plan, will first open up for seniors over the next six months, at which point eligible youth under the age of 18 and people with disabilities will also be able to apply. All other Canadians who meet the criteria can apply starting in 2025.Monday’s announcement fulfils a central promise in the governing agreement struck between the minority Liberals and the NDP, which could see the New Democrats prop up Justin Trudeau’s government until 2025 in exchange for progress on shared priorities. It also expands the list of Canadians who can access the measure, after both parties introduced a stopgap plan for low-income youth last year.Ottawa has earmarked $13 billion over five years to roll out the program, which the government estimates could help up to nine million Canadians.https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/canada-is-rolling-out-its-dental-care-program-heres-what-you-need-to-know/article_6af8ab1c-982e-11ee-b40b-87ea48af5f45.html Comments
