This is a book anyone who has to deal with America's healthcare system needs to devour. It's a quick read that I found quite insightful. In fact, I recently had the opportunity to put several of its tips into practice, and that gave me the confidence, knowing that I really did have some control over the care that I get and how much it costs me. The lessons appear to be from real people and very practical. And I really like connecting with and reading through the insights others offered about various services, care and pharmaceuticals. I feel far more armed with solid information that should be helpful in the future.

This should be required reading for all Americans. It actually explains how health care works and what you can do to make it work better for you. If you don't understand how the system works, you should read this. If you think you understand how the system works, you should read this. The information presented is clear, easy to digest and quite simple to understand. It takes all the complexities of our health care system and breaks them down into very easy to understand and actionable parts. If you have ever used, been frustrated with or confused by the American health care system this is a must read.

Not only was this an easy read (with a lot of humor) it was very helpful. In one location - you have definitions, basic knowledge and a "roadmap" to navigate the confusing thing we call healthcare. My husband and I both read it - and it explained concepts to him that I was never able to convey on my own.

If you have a chronic condition...this is a must read.
