This book did a great job and explaining medical insurance and how one can be a consumer of health care. I believe there was an analagy in the book that referenced purchasing a tv and how we prepare before we purchase the tv by reseraching products, prices, company etc. and yet as a consumer of health care we do not spend any time researching products (i.e. services), prices, company( i.e. hospital, lab, doctor) and this is our own health! This is a must read for anyone in the health care business as it explains how we can assist with the health care crisis.
I wish the writers of this book send it to Washington so they are as aware of how health care needs to be a consumer decision and not a government decision.

This book is a great tool and a valuable resource for those who might not know the many benefits of consumer driven health plans and all they have to offer. The facts are eye-opening – we have more choices than we might realize and we should be taking advantage of those choices! Extremely well written and easy to relate to.
