Infos

Your medical care is under attack! Obamacare, Medicare and the whole insurance infrastructure is placing your health and well-being in grave jeopardy. When it comes to cardiology care, the patient is completely at the mercy of the hospital and the doctor, while being kept ignorant of the costs and appropriateness of medical procedures. With this book, Dr. Platt aims to arm the patient with the understanding required to be a proactive and informed consumer of cardiological care. Armed with the unique knowledge of this book, patients and families can make informed and enforceable decisions to optimize care and medical reimbursement for every cardiological condition. These are aspects of medical care your doctor and hospital would rather you not know!
