Publisher Synopsis
"In this easy-to-understand guide, Moeller clearly explains this country's confusing medical system . . . [Moeller] is an old hand at giving wise advice, historical context, and helpful statistics. So he knows how to authoritatively caution plan holders to ask about annual deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, and prescription drug coverage." * Booklist * Read more...
