I'm a little frustrated wealthy boomers get this before poor and young people.

If you're taking out nearly $90k from your RRSP and you presumably have your house paid off, you can afford to go to the dentist on your own until the plan rolls out to everyone.

I hear you, and in an ideal world, you'd be right. But in a world where boomers have a shitload of political sway, this is the smart play to keep the dental plan alive long-term.

I'll tell my mom she has political sway. She's gonna laugh and laugh and laugh.

She's gonna laugh and laugh and laugh.

As an individual? She's right to. As a voting block? Boomers are the target (thankfully that will shift to Millennials within the next decade or so – type 'F' in chat, once again, for GenX)
