Your Money and Your Health: How to Find Affordable, High Quality Healthcare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781591023937)

""Do you know the difference between an HMO, DHMO and a PPO? Ever wondered if the extra cost of dental insurance will pay off in the long run? How do you decide which physician is best for you? The answers to these questions and more may be found in Braverman's encyclopedic guide to balancing health care with your budget ... written in clear, understandable language ... this is an indispensable tool. Real world, frequently asked questions address issues with honest, accurate advice.... The comprehensive glossary alone is worth the cover price as it unlocks the secrets of insurance-speak." MONSTERSandCRITICS.COM "Braverman's recommendations are well researched and sound. They should be useful to all Americans, regardless of their previous degree of knowledge about the healthcare system. Readers who seek even more information will benefit from the supplementary directory of websites and addresses for various health-related organizations. In summary, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to make sense of America's healthcare system." DENTON A. COOLEY, MD President and Surgeon-in-Chief Texas Heart Institute, Houston, Texas "Braverman, who has a master's degree in public health, aimed to produce 'a faithful portrait of consumer healthcare in the 21st century - its progress, its problems, its questions, and its answers.' Written for lay readers and organizational human resource department staff, the result is invaluable owing to the large amount of ground covered." LIBRARY JOURNAL
