It took the lolly scramble of an election campaign to finally get the Labour Gvt on board with “free dental” - but with a caveat: only for under 30s (at this stage).
It’s obviously a good and long overdue start; BUT to restrict it to sub-30’s is nonsensical. Many more difficult dental complications often arise in older years, and many older NZers are also financially challenged.
