Dental patients are ‘cheated’
As a result of the failure of the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to negotiate a resolution to a nine months old dispute with family dentists (arising from a two and a half year old claim), these 1.7 million insured workers (including the undersigned) are deprived of dental treatment benefit from a family dentist of their choice.
If a commercial firm forcibly collected premium and subsequently refused the insured access to the benefit, no doubt both government and the trade unions would have something to say.
