And what kind of publicly funded health care system still doesn’t recognise dental work as foundational to good, general health?
The one you likely voted for ?
Not once dies she metion it’s part of The Greens policy to change that. “Dental into Medicare and tax billionaires” apparently doesn’t resonate.
It’s always that way until something big goes wrong though, then you’ll wish you had insurance. Home and contents, health, pet, car - they’re a waste of money until the very thing that you need them for happens.
Extras, which dental is part of, maxes out at about a thousand dollars on even the most expensive policies. So if you have a dental disaster, you’re still going to need money.
Certainly private insurance can be useful for skipping the queue for elective surgery, but that’s it. Things like cancer treatment or traumatic accidents are all in the public system as they are not profitable.
