I just paid $100 bucks for dental work that would have cost me nearly $700 out of pocket last year. (lemmy.ca)

I almost in teared up at the reception desk when they told me the (minor) damage. It's been literal decades since I had actual dental coverage and I'm finally getting things taken care of I've been putting off for years; in some cases things which have taken a genuine health toll. If the NDP is smart I hope it's planning to run ads with stories like mine near election time.

Thanks! Knowing I have paid thousands out of pocket over the past 15-20 years for fillings, crowns, root canals, wisdom teeth, etc., to me, $100 genuinely feels like a miracle even though I know I'm lucky to be in the position where even that's affordable. Feeling grateful, for sure!
