I got wind of it today when I went to the CRA website.
Apparently you need to make less than $90k as a household to be eligible? That's not a lot, especially considering that two adults and one child likely costs more than $90k a year to house and feed in cities like Montreal.
Edit: wrote this before reading the article, it states as much. $45k/yr/person is almost bottom of the barrel poverty. This also creates another "poverty barrier" where it's either you make less than $45k and get dental, or make more than $45k and get no dental.
How many people making above $45k don't have private dental insurance through their employer?
Me, at some point.
Lots of contracting jobs, software development in my case, offer no health care plan, you have to go with the RAMQ insurance, which leaves you with no dental plan.
True. If you're self-employed, you're screwed.
Not just self-employed, but also contracted out by a company like CGI (used as an example, I'm sure they have a dental plan)
