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.
Man it’s so cool that you guys have dental care.
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...
Thank you for this, I will make sure to apply the first day I can!
I will never, ever qualify for the benefit.
I'm pretty sure some of my taxes will go to eventually fund someone who does qualify, though. And, having been VERY poor as a child and again in my 20s, I know the effects of inequal access to preventative care.
So little of my taxes will go to pay for this, but I'm really happy it will, as my current state is costly and didn't have to be, and I don't wish it on anyone!
