Under $90k and over 87 years of age.

Over 87 years of age is (part of) the initial group. It will be opened up to other age groups in the new year.

TLDR: [covers] Canadian residents with a household income under $90,000 and no private insurance.

No mention if this is indexed

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

What do you mean by indexed? Like if it adjusts for inflation?

[–] Splitdipless@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

I think that's what they meant.

~~If it's not indexed, more people will be covered over time, so it's not all bad.~~

[–] Velonie@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that mean less people will be covered over time? If it stays at 90k and wages go up eventually then more people will be over the threshold

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck, I'm dumb.

Hey guys I want everyone in Canada to have dental care without cost of use, but I'm anxious about the sustainability of a program that pays for dental care through paystub deductions while extending coverage to retirees.

I think the Healthcare funding model in this country is already ill-equipped to handle the boomers retiring (thanks boomers) without us giving them dental care they haven't paid for.

It needs to be funded through capital gains taxes.
