“After working in healthcare for so many years I was shocked at how difficult the healthcare system can be for the healthcare consumer when my family faced our own major healthcare issues. It was then that I decided to write a book to help the average consumer deal with such complex topics.”
When Dr. Ruthann Russo’s daughter, Emmalea, fell to the ground in a grand mal seizure right before her eyes, Dr. Russo suddenly found herself thrust into the complex healthcare system. Even as a recognized healthcare expert, she was not fully prepared for the challenge. Now, she was no longer the objective authority, but instead, the anxious mother of a 19-year-old suffering life-disruptive seizures, while trying to navigate confusing healthcare options. As her family managed new challenges daily and found their way to the best doctors and a successful healthcare plan for Emmalea, Dr. Russo recognized the difficulties facing the average healthcare consumer. So, she was inspired to help others use the healthcare system successfully.
“Finally, for the average American, Ruthann Russo has provided a sane, sensible solution to personal healthcare. I highly recommend this book to healthcare consumers.” —James J. Florio, Former Governor of New Jersey and U.S. Congressman
