The New Health Insurance Solution can help you cut your health insurance costs in half if: * Youa re self–employed, an independent contractor, or your employer doesna 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 cana 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 ) * Youa re currently putting money into an IRA or a 401(k)–because you dona t realize that an HSA is always a better option * Youa 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.
