Here is your roadmap to healthcare in the 21st century. With over forty years of experience in directing health policy activities for such major organisations as the Blue Cross Association, the American Pharmaceutical Association, and Georgetown University's Health Policy Center, author Jordan Braverman offers a wealth of knowledge on ten major areas of healthcare: evaluating physicians and their care, finding good dental care, traditional private health insurance, managed care, Medicaid and Medicare, surgery, hospital stays, nursing homes, home and hospice care, and prescription drugs. Encyclopaedic in scope yet designed for ease of use, this definitive reference work will help you make intelligent decisions about your healthcare in respect to both quality of care and affordability.
