First impression vs Final impression
What about you? What were your initial thoughts on the content of the book and how did they change after reading it? More importantly, did this book change any preoccupied ideas or myths that you had related to healthcare? Or did this worsen your fears related to your health as well as the healthcare system?

This book indeed brings a lot of information about the healthcare system and about insurance too. Nevertheless, I thought that the medical insurance systems were simple, and I found out that they were pretty complicated, but also very important, especially when you have an emergency I think.Thokchom Alice wrote: ↑02 Jun 2021, 00:19 At first, I thought the same that this book is written to point out the hidden agenda behind medical insurance systems.

The author really brought some interesting questions that a lot of governments don't seem to pay attention to, which is concerning, but the author's work is great to teach about the healthcare system in a unique manner.REIGNING20 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2021, 01:15 This book has clearly put forward the questions that we should raise matters our healthcare providers and how we all stand to benefit from their services, as far as health insurance is concerned.

Good thinking. There are many things in the world that we think we are aware of, but when it comes to practice, we know almost nothing about them, And it is rare for someone in some field to tell others the pitfalls in his/her own field. So this is quite a rare but good work from a doctor to educate the people on the healthcare business.gabrielletiemi wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 12:27 From the beginning, I thought that this book was a guide to help people to understand the healthcare system. After reading it, I think that it worsens my fears since I didn't give it so much thought until I read it and because I found that the healthcare system was much more complicated than I have ever thought.

I agree. Insurance is a field where most of us are lacking in knowledge, and even the insurance agents try to keep its consumers less knowledgeable because it makes it easier for them to manipulate their customers and earn more profit. So this author has done a great job by explaining the complex health insurance policies in a quite descriptive but simplistic form.Thokchom Alice wrote: ↑02 Jun 2021, 00:19 At first, I thought the same that this book is written to point out the hidden agenda behind medical insurance systems.

In most occasions people are either afraid to question their healthcare providers or they question but are given less or false information. As this author says, knowledge is power. So it is important to be educated on the services that you receive and this book is a great support for that.REIGNING20 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2021, 01:15 This book has clearly put forward the questions that we should raise matters our healthcare providers and how we all stand to benefit from their services, as far as health insurance is concerned.

Yes, the author goes step by step, outlining the business aspects that are related to medical field and then deepens the knowledge of the patients (the consumers) on various areas that they have to be tactful when getting served. It is really helpful to understand the complex things like what to consider when choosing an health insurance and a primary healthcare provider.

I don't think my fears were worsened by the end of the book, but I was made more aware of the complexities of the healthcare system, which happens to be quite jarring if anyone is considering a future in medicine.
I found the book very simple and straightforward while providing a truthful insight of the area, which is quite commendable for today.

Exactly. The author shows an aspect that no one will expect from the healthcare. So should one be afraid when choosing healthcare services? Yes, it is. But if you are educated enough, you have nothing to fear.

But there’s so much more on the other side of the system and it gets sticky and more complicated than people realize. I appreciated the content but also see a whole different realm
