To be healthy was once defined as having a body that functions adequately. However, as society has progressed, so has the concept of health. The importance of prioritizing one's health over anything else must be emphasized. Maintaining health is the foundation upon which you can launch a viable life. After three generations of doctors, physician assistant Barbara Galutia Regis continues the family tradition. Health Insurance and finding the right doctor have been part of Surviving the Business of Healthcare, as well as a smidgen of the author’s memoir.  

It's indisputable that knowledge is power. Adults, practitioners, and youth seeking a more thorough understanding of the healthcare system will find this book an invaluable resource. In addition, this book can be used as a resource for learning the skills necessary to advocate for yourself, primarily in the healthcare industry.

This book has broadened my perspective on the healthcare system. Barbara's dedication and genuine care for her patients led her to always prioritize their needs. Based on her stories about her upbringing and the touching memoir she wrote and published, I imagine her to be a strong and honorable woman. Even though the book reads a lot like a research paper, complete with academic data and medical jargon, I found the personal anecdotes engaging. A fascinating part of the book, and my favorite one, is the author's reflections on how her early life formed her outlook on medicine and, ultimately, her identity. 

Since the outbreak, many people in the healthcare business have been caught engaging in manipulative practices to advance their interests. Many people have been duped into thinking that their current health insurance plans and the fees associated with hospitalization are adequate protection from financial disaster. I appreciate this part where Barbara emphasizes the manipulation happening in the medical insurance sectors by many of the companies she mentioned. With this, I was confident that I didn’t find anything to dislike about this book.
 
No cap, this book is enlightening and somewhat engaging. I found the information helpful, specifically in viewing the lens of the US Healthcare system. I also adore that this is not just exclusive primarily to the US, as this also offers general knowledge that everyone can impart. More so, the memoir segment of this book is inspiring, which compelled me to give this book a perfect 5 out of 5. Also, this is a professionally well-edited book with only a single error.
