I needed info to help me with selecting a plan during open enrollment. Tried to get this book by "borrowing" to my Kindle, then discovered that according to Kindle's rules I was not allowed to until Nov1, too late to be of use for me, so then decided to buy the "book" on Kindle. What I got is very short (probably less than 50 pages,) and at $9.95, one of the more expensive Kindle purchases I've made. Also, not very helpful to me. Caveat emptor!
What a great, simple explanation of healthcare payor sources for the elderly! As an advisor to elderly people and their familes, the complexities of "Who pays for what?" are difficult to understand and navigate. So many of the families I deal with would benefit from this concise "users guide" to government and supplemental private insurance.
This Book makes it so much easier to understand the whole process in Medicare,and Medicaid I thought I understood it being a Insurance Agent but I was totally not there yet. Thank you Angil for writing this book and helping us understand it so much better.Sincerely,Daisy
By selling this eBook for $10, is taking advantage of the elderly and their caregivers who are seeking information on Medicare. This eBook has only about 20 pages of content. This content would be more appropriate for a webpage than for a $10 eBook. I appreciate the author's desire to make this information available to others, but I feel cheated. I expected more substance at this price. I will keep looking for a more substantive Medicare reference, but I will be more careful before I make my next eBook purchase on . Of the 52 Kindle eBooks I have purchased on , this is the only purchase I regretted sufficiently to write a negative review as a warning for others.
It does help to understand this huge government program. The book provides a lot of insight on how to manage the maze of medicare.
