       Now you're wondering who this Dr. Graham character is.  Is he just blowing smoke at me, or is he credible.  Check my credentials and detailed information on my website healthcare-toolbox.com.  In addition, I suggest you read some of my articles on various subjects at ezinearticles.com.  Probably the best place to check out my caliber is to login to the number one ranked website on the Internet for self improvement information, selfgrowth.com, and look around there for me. 

       The powerful impetus to help people is like an addiction to me.  Just to think that I have a huge warehouse of medical experience jammed into my brain and have a way to share it with those who can benefit from it is an incredible blessing from God.  I share that thought to excite you to expand on your own talents and expertise that every human soul has........and often is never recognized early enough.

Do you have any idea of how much personal time you waste in your meandering through the health care system?  Want to know how you can save that time and put it to family or productive activity uses that adds to improvement of your life and happiness? 

        You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to do when you make use of all the strategies included in this four volume treatise filled with light bulb moments.  Each gives disciplined advice to fertile minds.  Incredibly, there is no cease fire of teaching you how to keep time by a different clock from cover to cover.   

Can you find an easier way to save money than to avoid being trapped into being a victim of the health care gimmicks being used to extract your hard earned money?

         Such things as avoiding repeated office visits (and co-pay), baby sitter expense, and transportation costs going back and forth should pull the curtain back on the relentless behind the scenes monetary quicksand.

         Is it actually "secrets" I'm revealing, or could it be I'm putting a new face on the chinks of the medicine care delivery system you haven't considered taking advantage of in the past?  And maybe even never knew about?

       Has any doctor taken the time to tell you what they think about these issues?  They usually take the first off-ramp on the healthcare highway that takes them directly to their goals; and patients have been primed to reluctantly accept what's given.

       If you have an experienced insider guide who can pave the way to top healthcare for you, then taking control of your own healthcare is that much easier.  This book is your guide for now, and a pretext of what's to come next.  Aren't you curious?

• Explains how to avoid paying the copay, or full cost, of a second office visit for the same medical problem or situation.  Have you noticed that your doctors are often not taking time with you to fulfill all your medical questions and needs--then ask you to come back again to finish up with the rest?  How many times a year do you see your doctor for one medical problem and you are pushed to return again for the second or third problem you have?
  
  Say 4 times a year it happens = copay $10 X 4 = $40
                                                            copay $20 X 4 = $80
  So you will save $40 to $80 per year by using my strategies.  Using the same strategies for the next 5 years will save you $200 to $400.
  
   

• Explains how to avoid the cost of a baby-sitter, transportation to the office and home again for unexpected cancelled appointments by the medical office.  Ever arrive at the doctor's office and discover your appointment had been cancelled and you were never informed?  Then have to come back again for a new appointment and a second trip?  Forget the copay issue for now but is same as the problem above.
  
  Let's say it happens to you twice a year and the round trip to the office is 10 miles:
                               Baby-sitter = $7 per hour X 4 hours = $28 X 2 = $56 per year
                               Car trip = gas for 10 miles = $3 X 2 trips = $6
                                                 IRS auto expense = 30 cents/mi. X 10 mi. = $3 X 2 trips = $6
                                                          Total = $68/yr.  X 5 years = $340
  
   

• Explains how to avoid the cost of those extra doctor visits that often are needless.  Are you asked to make an office visit just to get a refill on your prescriptions?  How often does that happen to you?  Does your doctor have you return frequently for a simple procedure that you can easily do yourself at home--like a blood pressure check or an injection?  Some prescriptions have to be picked up at the doctor's office--restricted drugs, and you do have to make a trip to do that.
  
  You will know how to arrange and plan your office visit so that all your medical problems can be handled on one visit, instead of two......saving you the copays, or visit charges, as well as those mentioned above.   Instead of seeing the doctor 6 times a year, you accomplish all in 3 visits.      
                                            Copays on 3 office visits = $30  or  $60
                                                Over 5 years = $150 or $300

     If you expand the savings on all of these by using my strategies for healthcare outlined in the book to 10 or 20 years or more, cost savings to you continue forever because the information works indefinitely.  The strategies continue to work long term.

     Remember......there are many more cost saving tactics in the book that may very well pay for the cost of the book a hundred times over.  And that doesn't even include the cost savings of your time.  What's the value of your personal time?
