Senior government sources say anyone 65 and over in the province making under $19,300 - or $32,300 for couples - would qualify.
The service could be accessed through public health units, community health centres and aboriginal health access centres, with the potential for mobile dental units in the future. One of the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the budget item, said preventable dental issues lead to more than 60,000 emergency visits per year, a “significant portion” of which are by seniors.The Progressive Conservatives promised free dental care for low-income seniors in their election platform last year.
Great idea. Seniors need and deserve help, as far too many are straggling.
Finally something great for seniors
Why look into their mouths when ya can just take them out and show them?
this is amazing news. We don't do a good enough job taking care of our seniors in this country. I hope the prime minister is watching. Liberal crickets
What about low income broke millennials 😂
Due to lack of care over the years, seniors don't have any dental left in their head that needs care!
'SOCIALISTS', 'MARXIST', 'STALIN!!!!' Did I do that right? Asking for the left.
Free dental, han? So let me tell yous i work very hard for a living at times i have to think twice before an appointment. Now i will be seeing many open smiles and shiny teeth with my cash.
Nice distraction. Take away funding from OHIP and autism services for this crap. Conservatives are impoverished for ideas.
In other words: 'we're going to steal part of the platform from the opposition party but only for our base'
