Hassle-Free Health Coverage: Chapter 1 Summary

The information economy is tearing down traditional notions of companies and employer/employee relations. This is having a major impact on how people get health insurance. At the same time, large parts of the insurance industry-especially those dealing with life and car insurance-are dealing directly with consumers. Whether by mail, telephone or Internet, the big companies are cutting out the middlemen.

However, these middlemen-insurance agents- provide important information and advice to consumers. As their numbers decline, a growing number people will be left without the tools to make good decisions.

This book will give you those tools. It may not answer all your questions, but it will give you the concepts and language to ask the right questions- and the directions to the right person to ask.
