There is no “hotter” topic today than healthcare. The Presidential candidates talk about it in their stump
speeches and in their ads. Health insurance is the most sought after benefit employees seek, as costs
continue to skyrocket and the number of uninsured Americans keeps growing (47 million in 2006,
according to a special report issued by the U.S. Census in August, 2007.) And while many of us feel loyal to
our own doctors, we constantly complain about a healthcare experience we have – be it in a hospital,
emergency room or being a new patient in a specialists’ practice.
It all just seems so overwhelming…is there really anything we can do to change things? The answer is a
resounding “yes”, and Navigating the Healthcare Maze-What You Need to Know tells you how. This book is
a wake-up call to all of us. It is about being a better advocate when it comes to your own health. Take your
health matters into your own hands; as Jeff likes to say, become the best “consumer-patient” possible. Be
prepared. Ask questions. Don’t automatically accept the first treatment plan or even diagnosis – especially
if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
The author is not suggesting that you be combative toward your physician. Quite the contrary. However, he
does want you to create a dialogue with your health care providers in which you ask educated questions.
He advises you to come into their office completely prepared. The doctor-patient relationship works both
ways!.
Commitment to being well prepared and empowered is so vitally important in all our daily lives but no more
important than today within our present economic crises.
Jeff’s writing style is full of entertaining story telling and practical tips on how you can effectively navigate,
and ultimately create a straight path to good health. This book is a call-to-action for you – the consumer-
patient. You are in charge of your good health!
