How to Fix Canada’s Health Care System20 aug47 min

Michael Decter and Michael McCarthy join Steve to discuss their book The Canadian Health Care Guerrilla Handbook, how to be a “ninja warrior” for your health care, the role of family doctors as “gatekeepers,” non-urgent emergency room visits, and why patients need to advocate for themselves to get good care.

They also discuss Canadians going to the United States for health care, the crisis of accessing mental health care, and concerns over MAID.
