Aligned - by Cristin Dickerson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When something health-related goes wrong, it typically impacts lives. It's not a broken computer, stalled vehicle, or a large home repair; it's a loved one's well-being on the line. In the middle of this angst, families are further burdened by exorbitant healthcare costs. Many are unprepared, and even the well-insured may be launched into multiple-thousands of dollars in debt. None of this has to be your reality!

• Did you know two prices exist for any hospital procedure? Let's discuss how you can get the best pricing.
• Do you feel healthcare costs are too high? We'll explore real examples of why that is.
• Is a hospital the best place for overall care? No--and you'll clearly see why not.
• Has mainstream healthcare impacted us positively or negatively? To find out, we will explore real case studies of patients, employers, and doctors.
• What is subscription-based, direct-pay healthcare? It's the way you beat the mainstream healthcare system.
