@Snowshadow - don't you mean, thank you Jagmeet Singh and the NDP? Because without consistent, sustained pressure from them, for years now, this never would have happened.

It's more than a day late and more than a dollar short, especially considering private companies were brought in instead of doing it properly and at-cost.

@Polywog
You have a point about the NDP, and I don't like the private company being involved however, with everything going on in the world today why do you have find only the negative?
Aren't you happy that vulnerable people will have the opportunity to be healthier?
This benefit won't help me, I wear dentures but I am happy for others who it will make life better.

@Snowshadow - I'm not "only" finding the negative. I'm calling out erasure when I see it.

Of course it's a good thing that more people have access to health care. But that part's obvious. Misappropriating the credit and leaving out the parts where it was delayed for years & then implemented in a short-sighted fashion isn't responsible.
