A must read
 
Review Date: December 11, 2007
Reviewer: Robert F. Watson, Key West Florida
I picked up the 9th edition when I got ready to retire and it saved me a lot of money and confusion and helped tremendously getting thru all the "red" tape. So a couple of years later as I get ready now to approach Medicare I need all the information I can get so I ordered the new 12 edition. Which included tons of updated information.. A recommend for anyone retiring and/or getting ready to go on Medicare
An outstanding, basic reference suitable for any public library.

Bought this book for my husband (the accountant) since we are approaching Social Security age and weren't that familiar with SS benefits or Medicare. He has found this book very helpful in understanding the system. We would recommend.
Paid for itself

Reviewer: George, Seattle, WA
I'm close to retirement. In the section on Social Security I learned that as a Vietnam era veteran I'm entitled to another $300 a quarter from Social Security simply by requesting it and showing proof of service. The book more than paid for itself right there. And, the information and advice on the very complicated Medicare, "medi-gap" insurance,and Medicaid makes this a must have book for anyone who will be using these programs.
Not bad. Not bad at all.

Reviewer: CK,
This book, for the main, is clear, compact, and well researched. And it lists, highlights, tips and cross references in a most delightful, easy-to-grab manner. Unfortunately for me, the very small and few sections I needed to be clear, were not. My own concerns aside, this is an outstanding reference, and a good place to start.
