 An ever-increasing population of baby boomers will find it useful. October 14, 2006

The second edition of SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE is a top pick any public library will want to include in their collection. It updates all information on rules, coverage, benefits and more, providing tips on everything from timing retirement benefits to understanding how divorce and death affects social security benefits. An ever-increasing population of baby boomers will find it useful.

A book that makes a complicated subject simple December 2, 2007
CastleHill (Copper Canyon, TX)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
With 65 approaching, I had many questions about Medicare and all the issues that accompany this difficult subject. Instead of "reading" the book, I used it as a reference for specific questions, and it provided the answers which brought the subject of Medicare into focus. The chapters were named very simply making it easy to navigate through the book without getting involved in the minutiae of these complicated subjects.
A book I would recommend for anyone approaching 65.

I found the Idiot's Guide to be very informative. It answered most of my questions, and told me where to find to answers to those questions that it didn't answer.

This is a Guide chock full of information on the
title subjects. I found it to be easy to read
and understand. It didn't make all the decisions
for me,but gave me plenty of options to think
about. I'm glad I bought it.
 good but does not cover all June 27, 2009

I bought this book with the expectation of learning more about medicare than social security as I am already on SSD. There really is not much regarding that subject but I guess if you are in your 50's it would be helpful - not so much if you are in your early 60's.
