Ever wondered why Medicare rebates keep going up - but your medical bills do too? Or why private health insurance doesn't protect you from huge hospital costs? You're not imagining it - and you're not alone.

This book tells you what no one else will: the truth about how the system really works, where your money goes and how to avoid being ripped off.

You'll learn how to:

Get every cent you're entitled to from Medicare and private health insurance. Access free and low-cost care, 24/7. Use new care pathways and make the most of your My Health Record. Read and question your medical bills like a pro. Choose the right private health insurance - if you need it at all. Avoid hidden fees and big out-of-pocket surprises. Understand your rights in public hospitals.

You'll also hear from real Australians who saved money and dodged excessive fees just by asking the right questions.

If you're sick of confusing rules, broken promises and ballooning bills, this book is your toolkit. Take back control of your healthcare - and your wallet.
