This review is from: The ABCs of Hmos: How to Get the Best from Managed Care (Paperback)

My husband didn't like "the work" of wading through the information his company provided when it came to choosing a health plan, so he left the decision to me. I was overwhelmed by the information and jargon in the company packet so I was desperate for help in sorting through it. This book was the answer to my prayers. It provides the most thorough, objective information on managed care I've found without resorting to the scare tactics in most other books or articles on the subject that I've read. It really helped me understand what I was doing in choosing from the options given to us by my husband's employer. The section on comparing benefits was especially a great help. I highly recommend this book to anyone who plans to join an HMO and wants to make a good choice; or even to those who already belong to one who want to understand their plan better.
