Cost estimate of a federal dental care program for uninsured Canadians.: YN5-208/2020E-PDF

"In February 2020, the PBO received a request based on a motion from Mr. Don Davies (Vancouver Kingsway) to estimate the cost of establishing a Federal dental care program for uninsured Canadians with a total household income below $90,000. The program is expected to start on January 1, 2021. Program parameters such as coverage, contribution requirements, and eligibility criteria were provided to the PBO as part of the request. This report estimates the cost to the federal government of implementing a dental care program based on that request. The cost estimate incorporates the potential effects of a behavioural response, due to improved access to dental care. The estimate reflects PBO’s latest labour market outlook, and the consequential eligibility impacts for unemployed individuals and their dependent children to the federal dental care program"--Executive summary, page 1.
