New York Times bestselling author Paul Zane Pilzer's guide to new moneysaving health insurance options for every American

Today, 44 million Americans lack health insurance and medical costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy among individuals and businesses. Fortunately, a revolution is underway. Since 1945, most Americans have received health insurance directly from their employer. That is about to change. Recent legislation has made it possible for individuals to buy health insurance that is better, cheaper, and safer than traditional employer-sponsored insurance. These new plans will be offered to millions of Americans for the first time in the Fall of 2005 and Business Week estimates that 32 million people will sign up for some form of consumer-directed healthcare plan over the next five years.

In this seminal guide to America's new health insurance options, economist and bestselling author Paul Zane Pilzer explains how Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) and other new plans work, and how the average family can save $5000 a year or more on healthcare costs. And readers will learn:

• How to buy affordable insurance that is better, safer, and cheaper than an employer's plan
• How to cut prescription drug costs by as much as 50%
• Why they should fully fund an HSA before putting money in an IRA or 401(k)
• How to accumulate $500,000+ in an HSA and use the money for retirement

Drawing on his background as an economist and entrepreneur, Pilzer also explains how businesses can fix their health insurance nightmare, cutting costs dramatically while still attracting good employees and providing high-quality coverage. The New Health Insurance Solution is a definitive, practical guide to America's consumer-directed healthcare revolution, and the new ways Americans will be funding their health and wellness.
