Dental plan criticized as costly and limited by access
Victoria opposition health critic Dennis Cocke of the NDP argued the announced dental care program will be expensive and offer little benefit to many British Columbians. He faulted the plan for ignoring dentist shortages outside the lower mainland and suggested a clinic system using dental nurses or school based prevention, noting half coverage after an initial check up and potential double payments for those already covered. He warned low income families face higher costs and echoed calls for a model used successfully in other regions.
