The leader of the Ontario NDP was in London Tuesday to promote her party’s Dental Care for Everyone plan.

“Millions of people in Ontario are not covered for basic dental care. Too often, they live in pain, go without the care they need, or rack up credit card bills for dental care,” said Horwath. “But it doesn’t have to be this way.”

While no election has been officially called, all three parties are gearing up for a spring election and todays could be seen as a pseudo campaign stop.

Horwath started the day at the London Brewing Co-operative to discuss the Dental Care for Everyone plan.

According to Horwath an NDP government in Ontario would spend $1.2 billion to provide dental coverage to an additional 4.5 million people, with the money coming from higher taxes for the wealthy and corporation.

From there attended a rally at Victoria Hospital aimed at saving the Cardiac Fitness Centre which has become a hot topic locally after it was announced it would be closed.
