Download or read book Easy Healthcare Set One written by Lori-Ann Rickard and published by Expert Health Press. This book was released on 2015-08-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This box set bundles three important Easy Healthcare titles, including Healthcare Privacy, Choose Your Health Insurance, and Obamacare, plus the free bonus What You Need First. Without a doubt, healthcare in the United States today is a challenge. Changes in the law, bureaucracy, and mounting paperwork overwhelm both doctors and patients. Doctors have to do more with less and often feel they have less time with the patient. Patients for their part must cope (often alone) with the maze of information, choices, and paperwork. A “real” doctor‒one who takes time to talk to the patient, meets with the family to discuss options, and is available when emergencies arise–is rare. More often patients’ healthcare experience is a “corporate” one. They receive care from a group of providers who must pack their schedules with patients and sacrifice time with individuals to process the endless paperwork required by legal, regulatory, and insurance company policies. So, how does a patient get a handle on all this? How do you swim when a medical crisis throws you into the deep end? Taking charge of your healthcare and that of your loved ones is the key to successfully navigating the system and getting the care you need without losing your way. In HealthSpin’s Easy Healthcare Set One you’ll find the tools you’ll need to do that.

Download or read book Medicare for All written by Abdul El-Sayed and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A citizen's guide to America's most debated policy-in-waiting There are few issues as consequential in the lives of Americans as healthcare--and few issues more politically vexing. Every single American will interact with the health care system at some point in their lives, and most people will find that interaction less than satisfactory. And yet for every dollar spent in our economy, 18 cents go to health care. What are we paying for, exactly? Healthcare policy is notoriously complex, but what Americans want is simple: good healthcare that's easy to use and doesn't break the bank. Polls show that as many as two in three Americans want the government to provide universal health coverage to all Americans. What's less clear is how to get there. Medicare for All is the leading proposal to achieve universal health coverage in America. But what is it exactly? How would it work? More importantly, is it practical or practicable? This book goes beyond partisan talking points to offer a serious examination of how Medicare for All would transform the way we give, receive, and pay for healthcare in America.
