Publisher's summary

The vital role of insurance in the progress of medicine and engineering, globalized trade and the spread of democracy is best explored through the History, "How's" and "Why's" of health insurance, and the exemptions and exceptions to them.

From such distant history to the relevant present, learn how to understand health insurance options both at work and on the Exchange, calculate which plan will save you the most money, and even how to use health insurance as a retirement vehicle. Understand how many consumers are now saving money on prescriptions by discount plans and even importing drugs from Canada. Become familiar with options for health insurance if you miss open enrollment or special enrollment periods, and even the value (or lack thereof) in dental, vision, and life insurance supplemental plans.
