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, it’s 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 expenseβ€”with 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.
 
In Health Care on Less Than You Think:
Drawing on the experiences of regular Americans and his pragmatic, dollars-driven analysis, Fred Brock shows readers how to
β€’ assess employer-based health plans and choose
   among the plans available to each family
β€’ shop for the best coverage at the least cost if a
   job does not provide insurance
β€’ compares insurance costs, eligibility, and benefits
   in different states
β€’ decipher the new Health Savings Accountsβ€”and
   understand their benefits and costs
β€’ choose supplemental dental and eye-care coverage
β€’ track down the biggest savings on prescription
   drug costs
β€’ master the insurer’s fine print and win battles
   over payments to get the most out of a plan
β€’ manage the Medicare system and long-term care
   insurance to protect retirement savings
