They need to set the means a little higher. $90k household income isn't a lot anymore. It's disqualifies a lot of people, and I think that's by design. Talk to me when it's a household limit of $180k if you are actually serious about Canadians taking advantage of such a program.

The amount of cleanings need to be increased to 2 times a year instead of just 1.

Though this program is great for people who can’t afford insurance.

For sure it's great, but it could be even greater if more had access to it. Friggin politics though, people screaming at clouds on Facebook, when they are at the same time the most harmed.

We definitely need more people speaking up in expanding dentalcare.
