Understanding the Dangers of HMOs

Most of the time, when we hear anything about Congress and Health Care, our eyes glaze over and our brains get numb. Unfortunately, when we or someone in our family gets sick, we are forced to deal with the health care system, and then we may find out we have forfeited our most important choices. Information is power, so save yourself! The HMO page - http://www.hmopage.org - by Physicians Who Care, a non-profit organization, is a site packed with what you must know in order to protect yourself. It’s an easy-to-understand and comprehensive site on the dangers of modern medical systems under HMOs. There is a glossary to help you understand medical jargon that is used to keep you from making informed decisions about your HMO. Written in clear English, with anecdotal stories by both patients and doctors, you’ll finally understand the implications for you and your family. It’s important that you act as your own advocate, and this site tells you which Congressmen to contact and how to begin to Rescue Health Care!
