(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-188) and index.

People are getting older and living longer. Accessing healthcare from birth to death, however, has become more complicated, and as information becomes more accessible, it also becomes more difficult to sift through the messages and find answers that apply to our own individual lives. Here, an MD and health insurance executive offers a guide to finding the best care, navigating the complicated systems on both sides (insurance and health providers), and taking ownership of one's healthcare consumption. Including real questions from actual patients, the author is able to suss out those issues of most importance to today's healthcare consumers. --Publisher.
