The New Health Insurance Solution
How to Get Cheaper, Better Coverage without a Traditional Employer Plan

Synopsis:

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 per cent by taking them off your employer plan; and, 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; and, 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. Paul Zane Pilzer is a world-renowned economist, a former advisor in two White House administrations, an entrepreneur/employer, an award-winning adjunct professor at NYU, and a "New York Times" bestselling author.
