This book covers everything you would want to know about finding medical care if you don't have insurance. It is also very useful if you do have insurance because it will show you how in many cases paying cash will actually save you money over using your health insurance. For example, you can purchase generic prescription drugs at Wal Mart for less than your co-pay might be! For those of us on Medicare, paying cash will help you reserve your Part D for when you really need it. For example, my blood pressure medicine is cheaper paying cash at Wal Mart than if I use my Medicare Advantage Plan's Part D. And remember that with Part D Medicare plans the charge against your Part D plan is both your co-pay and what the insurance company pays. Which means you can go through your Part D plan quicker than you expected. The book also goes into finding lower cost lab tests than what a hospital lab will charge you. You may be able to obtain dental services and vision care for less by paying cash. It does pay to shop around. Need dental work? Get on the phone and start calling dentists, telling them you don't have insurance, but you will pay cash for services. The author also tells you a lot about the pros and cons of Obamacare, and the fact that with the large deductibles of Obamacare you are going to have to be paying out of your own pocket anyway. There appear to be some alternatives to Obamacare and the author covers these very well. I really like this book and recommend it a 100%!
