Corporate dentistry. It's as horrible as it sounds. Hedge funds have been buying up dental practices looking for a 15% RoI.

For example, Dental Corporation of Canada owns 350 clinics Canada-wide.

The private dental insurance providers also make massive profits because of the private dental care model. One such provider is CanadaLife owned by the all powerful Power Corporation.

I feel that @JustinTrudeau didn't agree to universal dental care as @NDP wanted because the Liberals don't want to hurt corporate profits.

So, now we are going to end up with a terrible two-tier system.

@JustinTrudeau @NDP The reason rich people are OK with so much tax dollars going to universal healthcare is because they also have to use those services.

You can be sure that the rich will attack a means-tested system with all they've got in order to get tax cuts.

@JustinTrudeau @NDP Sure, the #LibNDP plan is better than nothing. But @theJagmeetSingh should not have settled for "better than nothing." He should have stuck to his guns and demanded universal dental care.
