Infos

You no longer need a traditional employer plan to get good,
affordable health insurance. The New Health Insurance Solution can
help you cut your health insurance costs in half if:

* You're self-employed, an independent contractor, or your
employer doesn't provide health insurance (you can probably get
coverage on your own for about $94/month--a fraction of what
an employer would have to pay for the same coverage)

* You are employed and pay extra to cover your spouse or children
under your employer-sponsored plan--you may save 50% by taking
them off your employer plan

* You own a small business and are getting killed by double-digit
premium increases--you can now give employees tax-free money
to buy their own plans and get your company out of the health
insurance business

The book also explains in detail the best solutions for you
if:

* You can't find affordable health insurance because you or a
child have an expensive preexisting medical problem (your state has
a program to provide you with guaranteed coverage )

* You're currently putting money into an IRA or a
401(k)--because you don't realize that an HSA is always a
better option

* You're unsure how you or your parents will be able to afford
health insurance during retirement, or how to maximize benefits
from Medicare--including the new Part D prescription drug
plan

The New Health Insurance Solution is the definitive guide to the
new ways every American can now get affordable health
care--without an employer.
