Good Morning Hamilton: Dr. Kershaw on fixing our health care system
Dr. Paul Kershaw joined Good Morning Hamilton with Rick Zamperin to discuss how we can fix Canada's broken health care system.
"We misunderstand what makes us healthy and well. Too often we assume it’s a strong medical care system that makes us well. When really the medical care system simply needs to kick into gear when the other parts of our system have allowed us to become sick in the first place," Kershaw said. "We actually need to focus more on the investments that will prevent illness and keep people well. And that’s more on the social side. That’s the child care, poverty reduction, housing investments and so on."
