It is obvious from the moment you begin the book that Dr. Steinberg cares about his patients and their health, and after reading his book I feel I understand how to get the most out of my HMO. Thank you Dr. Steinberg!
An excellent book for anyone, especially an HMO patient

This is an excellent exploration of the HMO system that is taking over American health care. If you belong to an HMO, you MUST read this book -- it could literally save your life, as the many case studies of unfortunate dead patients make clear. The author gives solid, practical advice about how to get the most from your HMO. I'm not in an HMO, but I still found the discussion of the history and workings of HMOs fascinating.
