Dentists joining or not joining wouldn't even be an issue if the program was properly constructed in the first place.
All the government had to do was plug into a long established system. I enroll, I get a provider number and plan number and I'm good to go.
When I had dental coverage through my employer, I gave my provider and plan numbers to the dentist and everything just worked.
Even if there is belief that the program was implemented with the best of intention, what Canadians seem to get out of it is a mangled mess and I wonder how much value we're really getting.

750 million. How many public servants would that hire so we don't have to always be siphoning public funds into profiteering on this and other programs?
Funny thing. It seems you can be both a public servant and still take in that sweet contracting money. To top it off the guy was a PPC candidate, this government is so incompetent it doesn't even embezzle properly.

There are no words...
sun life is involved? Gross
Just like every other system we get, it's fundamentally broken to begin with
Government messes this stuff accidentally on purpose. Rather tham creating a public option that competes with private insurance, they want people using the services to feel like they could be better served ny private interests.
Using public services is supposed to be objectively worse, amd even shameful, by the ideology of those creatinf and approving the services.
