You no longer need a traditional employer plan to get good, affordable health insurance. This book explains the solutions for you if: you can't find affordable health insurance because you or a child have an expensive preexisting medical problem; and, you're putting money into an IRA or a 401(k) - because you don't realize an HSA is better. With illustrations. Hardback, 336 pages. Size: 241 x 160 mm. Weight: 530g.
