Your Health...Dr. Elmer Huerta

We are great in treating conditions. Our health care system in the United States - and most of the world, I would say...is great in treating, because the center of this universal health care is disease and illness. Once the illness comes, oh, my God, we're great. We can operate, we can any part of your body give you treatments for this, for that. Why? Because the center of this health care universe is the illness, the disease. Wouldn't it be great if we kind of change that health care universe towards preventive and - to prevention, early detection, what we call health promotion? Can you imagine people going earlier without symptoms? Exactly the same way you take your car to the shop for the tune-up.
