Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir is Sonya Huber’s story about her experiences with health care in the United States. From college graduation through hear early 30s, Huber struggles to find a job she enjoys that provides insurance covering routine care — dental checkups and fillings, doctor's visit's, and, eventually, labor and delivery and health care for an infant. She becomes a healthcare activist and, at times, works for non-profits dedicated to improving health care for the middle class and poor, while, ironically, going without insurance herself.
Huber’s irreverent and affecting memoir of navigating the nation’s health-care system brings a necessary dose of reality to the political debates and propaganda surrounding health-care reform.
Cover Me was featured on Literary Mama as one of the books to read now. Caroline Grant, Editor-in-Chief and Columnist says, “I just devoured Sonya Huber’s new and incredibly timely Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir.”
Huber recently was interviewed with Doug Dangler at Ohio State about Cover Me. Watch the 30-minute version below.
