Hey, Art, almost the ONLY significant medical expenses I've had in the last 40 years have been for dental work...and it's NOT covered by Canadian medicare! How ironical. The one thing they haven't covered me for is the one thing I've needed.

However, they did take care of my mother with diabetes and my father with liver disease...and either one of those situations would have probably bankrupted my parents without Canadian medical coverage, so I'm grateful for what we have in Canada.
