Product Description
In his role as Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Taragano has saved corporations millions of dollars. He achieved this through corporate reorganization and cost reduction techniques–obtaining substantial refunds by auditing bills, recovering overcharges and improving systems for companies and individuals over his 20 year career. But it wasn’t until his son made over 75 visits to various doctors in one year that he realized how many mistakes doctors, medical billing companies and insurance companies make. By the end of that year, when the errors had amounted to over $3,000 in overcharges–and subsequent refunds–he realized he had developed a system other people could benefit from, too. That system turned into Health Cent$. By using the methods described in this book, he saved over $15,000 in seven years for himself and his family. Using the same system, he saved even more money for his friends, relatives and co-workers.

Product Description
How did the United States come to have its distinctive workplace-based health insurance system? Why did Progressive initiatives to establish a government system fail? This book explores the history of health insurance in the United States from its roots in the nineteenth-century sickness funds offered by industrial employers, fraternal organizations, and labor unions to the rise of such group plans as Blue Cross and Blue Shield in the mid-twentieth century.
Historians generally view the failure to establish universal health insurance during the first half of the twentieth century as an indicator of the political clout of insurers, employers, unions, and physicians who thwarted Progressive efforts. But the explanation is actually simpler, John Murray contends in this book. Careful analysis of the workings of industrial sickness funds suggests that workers rejected plans for compulsory state insurance because they were largely content with existing private plans. Murray revises our understanding of the evolution of health care insurance in the United States and discusses the implications of that history for the ongoing debates of today.

After World War II, the United States and Canada, two countries that were very similar in many ways, struck out on radically divergent paths to public health insurance. Canada developed a universal single-payer system of national health care, while the United States opted for a dual system that combines public health insurance for low-income and senior residents with private, primarily employer-provided health insurance – or no insurance – for everyone else.In “National Health Insurance in the United States and Canada”, Gerard W. Boychuk probes the historical development of health care in each country, honing in on the most distinctive social and political aspects of each country – the politics of race in the U.S. and territorial politics in Canada especially the tensions between the national government and the province of Quebec. In addition to the politics of race and territory, Boychuk sifts through the numerous factors shaping health policy, including national values, political culture and institutions, the power of special interests, and the impact of strategic choices made at critical junctures. Drawing on historical archives, oral histories, and public opinion data, he presents a nuanced and thoughtful analysis of the evolution of the two systems, compares them as they exist today, and reflects on how each is poised to meet the challenges of the future.
