rabble radio Dental care in Canada – How did we get here, where are we going?
In this year's federal budget, the Liberal government announced a $13-billion plan to expand dental care to families earning less than $90,000 a year, fulfilling the government's commitment to the New Democrats. This is, of course, a major step forward for dental care in Canada. But is it enough? Or do we also need to rethink the structure of dental care in Canada as a whole?
This week on rabble radio, national politics reporter Stephen Wentzell speaks to Dr. Brandon Doucet about his new book, About Canada: Dental Care.
