You must be under 25. Because for me now it's far less expensive to insure my car in Alberta than it would be in B.C. But that wasn't the case when I was 24.
I just find that with dental care which is essentially a private medical service, when I need something done I can get it done. My employer and my wife's employer both provide us with insurance and in the end I got a substantial amount of work done this year and the cost to me wasn't that much after the insurance claims went through. I was able to get the work done properly and when it was convenient for me. Between what I pay for extended medical premiums and the cost of the work it wasn't really that much. If Dentistry and dental insurance can make it work...I don't know why other helth care couldn't?
