Summary: "The Medicare Part D Maze"
Insurance has always been for me so difficult to figure out. There are so many plans to look at, too many options and then the constant fear that I'm not going to do it right and in the end make a poor choice. The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Medicare Part D is very easy to use, well written and organized. I read it from cover to cover in short order and actually retained much of what I read. The author Lita Epstein writes in a very logical way so it's easy to grasp the fundamentals of Part D. She even writes a chapter where she shows you exactly what to expect when you visit the Medicare website to make your final decision. If your looking for help figuring out Medicare Part D, this is the book to get.
