Health: Dental Milestone Made Official
I mentioned privately last week that I'd been accepted for enrolment into the Canadian Dental Insurance Plan. The one that our federal government hired Sun Life to administer for everyone earning less than C$90K/year and not already covered by their employer or their province?
That one.
I finally got the card in the papermail from Sun Life today.
Orange and pink and white plastic.
It's just hitting me now that, after over three decades of paying out of pocket by instalments for my dental health basics - exams, fillings and repairs of same, that sort of thing - I no longer have to worry about that part of my life's financial juggling. It's already covered through my federal income tax from now on unless I land a sufficiently lucrative job with its own coverage.
Hoping it all works out.

1--as an American, I envy you your health care. Ugh ugh ugh, is the mildest thing I can say about our nasty capitalism-based system.
2--it must be a great relief to have the coverage for dental matters! :0)

There are still copays but a mere fraction of the whole cost.
