Who should read Health Insurance in America - a consumer's guide? The Author believes this guide should be part of everyone's reading, as the content is relevant to everyone in America. Young adults, older adults, and seniors can all benefit from its guidance. And having an understanding of health insurance concepts can not only save you money, but is can lead to a more healthy life when you are able to get the full benefits from your health insurance plan. Many people actually put off medical care because they do not understand what their health insurance pays for, or how much it will pay, or they assume it will not pay anything at all. Because of that, it makes a great gift for parents, children, friends, and other relatives.

The 3rd edition contains additional content in many of the chapters, more examples, and is full of the latest statistics and government regulations.

The guide is organized in a way that is similar to most people's experience with health insurance; from gaining an understanding of health insurance and how it works, to selecting coverage, and finally what happens when you use your health insurance. It also includes helpful topics such as PPO networks ∆ the different kinds of health insurance plans ∆ an introduction to Medicare ∆ the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) ∆ Cobra ∆ insurance while traveling ∆ precertification ∆ health insurance fraud ∆ and where the money comes from to pay your expenses. And new in the 3rd edition, an explanation of the recently instituted No Surprises Act and Price Transparency requirements.
