Every day thousands
of Americans visit
doctors and hospitals. These visits cost insurers,
government agencies, and individuals millions
of dollars a day. As a society, we try to manage
the cost of these health care visits.
The book, Health
Care Self-Defense, discusses
specific actions you can take to manage your health.
The goal of this book is to help consumers see
that health care literacy is the key to receiving
the best and lowest cost health care in today's system.
Health Care
Self-Defense has no political agenda.
Health Care Self-Defense was written as a result
of first hand experience with the health care system.
The contents of the book provide fresh insights
on individual roles and responsibilities in health care.
Health care self-defense
is about you taking
responsibility for your own health care. You'll learn
what Health Care Self-Defense is, why it matters,
and how it can be important to you and your family.
