News Federal government to announce details of dental insurance plan

The federal government hopes to avoid gumming up the works of its new dental-insurance plan by gradually phasing in enrolment over the course of the next year
Seniors over the age of 87 will be the first cohort to be able to apply to join a new federal dental-insurance plan.
It will be slowly expanded over the course of 2024 to include all qualifying seniors, children under the age of 18 and people with disabilities.
Holland announced the rollout of the program, which is currently budgeted to cost $13 billion over the next five years
The program is aimed at people with an annual household income under $90,000 who don't have access to private insurance.
Coverage will include preventive, diagnostic, restorative and surgical services — including X-rays, fillings, root canal treatments and dentures, among others
Once eligibility is expanded to all qualifying Canadian residents in 2025, it will be the government's largest social program.
The insurance plan is a key pillar in the Liberal's supply-and-confidence deal with the New Democrats to secure the opposition party's support on key votes.

The oncologist would come in and say, 'We’re pretty backlogged right now so hang in there
But Quayle ran out of time. The 52-year-old grandfather – described as jolly, big-hearted and playful – died on Nov. 24.
Quayle was diagnosed with esophageal cancer months after first feeling ill.
While he waited for treatment, his health declined, which led him to choose MAID
The family’s pain emerges as numbers reported on radiation therapy reveal that only 75 per cent of patients in B.C. are receiving it within the recommended 28-day benchmark — lower than the 77 per cent in May when the province started sending patients to the U.S. for radiation due to long waits in B.C.
The province has hired 61 oncologists and 27 radiation therapis
