Episode 6.40 - Dental Damage

Danielle Smith made news on June 25th when she announced that she was going to "opt out" Albertans from the federal dental plan. Which leads to a lot of questions, like what are the current programs that are available, what are the criteria for them and how does the federal program match up? Which is to say nothing of the question if she even can opt Albertans out. On this episode, we try and unpack all of that, and we take a look at why Smith and the UCP are threatening the healthcare of Alberta's most vulnerable! Don't forget, we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca, including a spring lineup!
