Self-Help
Health costs are soaring, strangling job decisions, bankrupting families, and unsettling retirement plans. Workers with insurance at their jobs face constant cuts in coverage for an ever-steeper price tag, while forty-six million Americans lack insurance and have to fend for themselves. Medicare and prescription drug coverage are under strain. And with so much money at stake, itβs no surprise that the financial industry is rooting for the new Health Savings Accounts: a boon for their profits, but a mixed bag for families.
Brock investigates the best options available, offering the first one-stop guide to maximizing health coverage while minimizing expenseβwith potential savings of hundreds or thousands of dollars each year. Worksheets and a handy resource list give readers the tools to customize their plan to their ages and needs.
Once again, Brock provides unrivaled, objective, and essential financial reporting and advice to safeguard the wallets of American families.
