After successfully navigating the world of healthcare without insurance for nearly a decade I decided it was time to share the lessons we'd learned with the rest of the nation, in particular the 47 million other Americans who do the same. Once written I realized how valuable this book truly is. The timing, while unintentional, was perfect as the publication coincided with Obama's healthcare reform bill. This book shows the true meaning of healthcare reform - taking an individual stance on becoming our own best healthcare advocates. For readers who have health insurance, this book is equally important, if not more, because you may be taking much for granted in allowing your health insurance company to advocate for you. Insurance is a business, don't let big business dictate your care!
