[g-na · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another collection of interesting and amusing stories from a doctor's point of view. However, this book looks at things in a practical, insurance-oriented light. Dr. Thurston shows, with real-life examples, how HMOs and other insurance limitations do negatively impact the health care a person receives in America. He talks about the need to reform this, and put the patient's health and well-being above corporations' desire to save a few dollars. This book is recommended not so much for the anecdotes, but more so that you can learn to be aware of what goes on behind the insurance paperwork, and use that information to make better health care decisions.
