Well, I think it is mainly useful in developed countries. Like there author said that people in the U.S. have to pay for things like this.

This book was written based on the UK healthcare system. But there are other general lessons the author talked about. All we have to do is identify it in our country.

Wonderfully said.

No, the book is not only relevant to Americans. The book is beneficial to anyone who intends to take their health seriously in the future, as well as those who are or have a cancer patient to attend to, regardless of where they are in the world.

The book is not only recommended to the US but to all nations in the Western Union in my opinion as it meets the criteria thereto as well.

The book was off course written from the perspective of US but when I read it I still found every information in the book essential to anyone despite where they are originated. I am a South African and I have grasped a lot of things from this book.

Sadly, yes. Most of the information provided are for people in the US but I feel there are some parts that people from other countries can learn from. Like the general topic on insurance, they will just take time to study the type of insurances in their respective countries, then apply.

Most of the information are based on things in the US. It made me feel lost at some point.

Yes, although I agree that the author's facts were US based, but I strongly believe it will be useful for other citizens of the world.

Apart from the US insurance policy, I think the book contains lots of things that even people that are not US based would benefit from. A good example is some of her experiences with patients.

Not only Americans should read this book. Regardless of where they are in the world, the book is helpful to everyone who wants to start taking their health seriously in the future as well as those who are already caring for or will soon be caring for a cancer patient.

I found this as a flaw in this book. This book only relates to people who reside in the US because the payment is high for them where I reside is low.

It’s not only useful for US residents. I believe it is useful universally. In most countries, you pay for medications and other healthcare services.

Though the author wrote the book based on the healthcare system of were she resides which will not be peculiar to everyone. But there are other basics which is same all over the globe that should be the focus of those who don't have the system of what the author talks about.
