For anybody concerned about health, who has health insurance or is planning to buy it, or who wants to understand the Affordable Care Act (ACA), this book is a must-read.Author and nurse Michelle Katz currently works as a health care advocate on ABC World News, and she proves herself here to be an amazing interpreter of a program that for most of us is all but indecipherable. Her objective explanations of all aspects of the new insurance programs established by the ACA are succinct and comprehensive.This 230-page narrative is presented almost entirely in a question-and-answer format that simplifies the reader’s search for specific questions. The book is divided into four sections. The first explains the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare; the second explains how to choose a health plan; the third describes how to use your benefits; and the fourth explains how to control health costs.That all sounds dry and sterile, but Katz does a wonderful job of making the book read as if it were written by a favorite uncle giving solid advice. It seems that Katz is the kind of person who is capable of deciphering any unreadable contract.-Key Questions Answered-The author starts off by briefly describing the 10 essential health benefits of all plans: ambulatory services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity, mental health, rehabilitation, laboratory services, wellness, pediatrics, and prescriptions. Katz describes the bronze, silver, gold, and platinum health plans Obamacare forces all insurance plans to conform to, and she simplifies topics ranging from exemptions in coverage to the rare cases where old plans can be grandfathered in and retained.
