This is the best summary I could come up with:
The federal government has posted updated information online on who is eligible for Canada's national dental care plan.
They're ineligible even if they decided to opt out of their private insurance, haven't made a claim, or have to pay a premium, the website says.
Ottawa has now added an exception for retirees who decided not to sign up for private dental insurance offered through their pension plans.
Health Minister Mark Holland said his department looked at situations where retirees had chosen to opt out of their pension dental plans before the national program was announced.
More than 1 million Canadians have signed up for the plan, Citizen's Services Minister Terry Beech said during question period last week.
In order to qualify, applicants must have no access to private dental insurance and family incomes of less than $90,000 a year.
