Waiting at my tooth doctor again. This is going to cost a shit ton. Why isn't this paid for by tax? đŸ¤”
In Norway, normal doctors funding is paid that way but not for any tooth work. But… why?
@ruario it's like that in Canada as well and I always wonder why...
@ruario It’s a bit similar in Finland. I think with a tooth that hurts you will just pay anyway. With pain it’s not an option to avoid doctors until your condition is so bad you will stay on long tax-paid sick holiday.

@ruario Canada *just* got a national tooth doctor plan! I just got my approval. I can't wait to go to my tooth doctor now.
