From the June issue of Consumer Connection:

 "This book ... would be a great addition to your book shelf or to the consumer health shelf at the public library. Jack Fincham shows his care and concern for patients and this is evident through his book."

~ Julie Johansen, Medtronic, Inc. Minneapolis, Minnesota

More praise for The Medicare Part D Drug Program: Making the Most of the Benefit:

“Dr. Fincham has done a superb job of making a complex topic easier to comprehend, digest and take appropriate action to get the best possible prescription drug coverage and medication management services under the new part D Medicare plan … This exemplary book represents the most rational and thorough approach to this topic with diagrams, details, reference sources and questions and answers that this senior care researcher and consultant pharmacist has seen in print to date.”

“Last year colleagues and friends asked me to assist them with enrolling parents and I had great difficulty doing so, even though I have taught and conducted research in this area for over 25 years. Today, that dilemma has been eliminated with the arrival of this publication. Every social worker, advisors for senior citizens, H.R. department personnel, and even some seniors themselves should have access to this valuable resource.”

"The book contains a detailed and comprehensive explanation of all relevant aspects of the complex topic of the Medicare Part D Drug Benefit Program. The author clearly addresses not only the specifics of the Part D Program, but also offers many ideas for the reader who is trying to wade through the complexity of Medicare in order to obtain and make correct use of medications. The author strikes an excellent balance between providing complex information and offering simple ‘how to’ advice about the topic. The Medicare Part D Drug Program: Making the Most of the Benefit is a timely and useful text intended for the lay audience, but useful for health care professionals who want to understand the benefit and guide their patients toward enhanced medication management."
