At $1500 per person this program would cost roughly 6 billion dollars.
So do you want to pay an additional $3000 or so dollars per year in tax? Noe you could increase business payroll taxes to offset the savings they would see on plans but it still would be billions of dollars we don't have.
Now the province should require fluoridation of all water in cities that would be a good investment but i don't think we can afford dental care. Perscription drugs is probably a better being for your buck then dental if we are expanding programs.
