He shows how these costs can be effectively managed so that you get better care while spending less.

In talking to other individuals and researching the subject, he found out that medication errors and drug reactions kill more people each year than diabetes or car accidents. He also found out that most of these incidences are never made available to the public. This book is about what you can do to avoid becoming a victim of medication errors, as well as, how you can reduce your out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs, whether you have insurance or not.
