Surviving the U.S. Health System: Insurance, Providers, Well Care, Sick Care

This is truly a valuable resource for anyone who wants the latest information about managing their way through the US healthcare system, written by someone who really cares about getting it right. Sherry Kahn has done outstanding research into preventive healthcare, treatment options, integrative care and the impact of health care reform. The lists of resources alone make this an important book to own. You recognize in the very first chapter that the author's approach is unbiased and comprehensive, delivered with a great deal of common sense; this is a book you can trust.

I've been a medical writer for 25+ years and this is the best information source I've seen for anyone who is uninsured or under-insured. Plus, the book gives details of what to expect when the Affordable Healthcare Act ("Obamacare") goes into full effect in 2014. It includes guidance for anyone choosing an insurance plan, including Medicare.

With regard to the book's medical information, the emphasis is on preventive care and integrative medicine, which I really appreciate. There are fascinating chapters on concierge doctors, surviving a hospital stay, and "medical tourism" (going to other countries for less expensive health care). Everyone from laypeople to medical students to experienced clinicians will benefit from reading this book.
