You may think you’re getting “good” health care, but I can almost guarantee you’re not getting the best. Even if you think you are, it may be rapidly changing due to health care reforms. Surviving American Medicine provides you with everything you need to navigate the current war zone that is health care in America by providing expert tips and insights that will ensure you get the best care possible.

Health care reform is all around us. It comes in private or PPO health insurance plans, HMO programs, Medicare regulations and coverage, and Medicaid programs that face state underfunding throughout America. Now that the Supreme Court has upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), we know changes will be coming each year, some good and some bad. If you are frustrated or angry about reform or your own medical care (or your family’s or friend’s), help is available in Surviving American Medicine.

If you are not yet frustrated, you will be when changes in health care begin to increase denials of care, increase your premiums or copay costs, cause you to lose or change your employer-based health plan, result in losing your physician and cause you to need to find a new one, or you develop a serious or chronic condition that doesn’t get better.

You may need a new doctor or specialist. Surviving American Medicine gives you a 13 step process to search out a good physician for you. Surviving American Medicine also lets you personally take a test to rate your doctor and know if you have to start looking. Other tests allow you to rate your health care for preventing illnesses, and to check out if you are a good patient!

Health care reforms are not all bad, many are going to help each of us. As a result of PPACA, there will be no cap on lifetime health care costs, no loss of insurance due to an illness, no denial of insurance based on preexisting conditions, children may stay on their parent’s health plan until age 26, and plans will cover usual medical costs of patients on certain clinical trials. All these need to be preserved, not deleted or amended or regulated away. Surviving American Medicine tells you how to use these to your advantage.

So take a step to reducing your concerns, frustrations and anger about medical care and read Surviving American Medicine to get the tips to personally overcome the challenges of health care reform today.
