Customer Review: There is a huge amount of information in this book which it seems is a requirement. Social Security might not be too hard toort out,but Medicare / Medicaid looks like a nightmare. Fortunately I have three more years to figure out the right things to do. My advice is to get this book well before you... more info

I knew very little going in about Medicare, and felt obliged to learn: Medicare-for-all is held up as the goal toward which all health-insurance plans should... more info
Customer Review: I have been trying to make sense of the healthcare mess. It is not easy. I find that most of what I read seems off target and out of focus. Everyone knows the system is a mess, but no one can explain quite why. This little book -- it is about 150 pages -- brings a remarkable amount of clarity... more info
