In Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir, Sonya Huber tells readers of her own personal relationship with health care. Growing up, she viewed health care as did most of her peers: as an inconvenience or not at all. However, when in adulthood she worked a string of job with that did not provide health insurance (ironically, several were in the health care industry), she quickly learned how physically -- and financially -- devastating something as innocuous as a toothache or sinus infection could be. She also became an expert at navigating the world of free and reduced-cost heath care for those without. In Cover Me, Huber brings an awful and necessary dose of reality to the political debates and propaganda surrounding health-care reform.
Karen Springen of Booklist Online said "Huber's irreverent humor makes her provocative "health insurance memoir" worth a read.” We like to think she is sort of UNP’s resident health care expert.
Though she's now among the ranks of the insured, Huber is still passionate about health care for all. Check out the op-ed page of AOL for her thoughts on how heath care reform stands to affect small businesses.
