Inhalt:
Just a few generations ago, serious illness, like hazardous weather, arrived with little warning, and people either lived through it or died. In this important, convincing, and long-overdue call for health care reform, Joanne Lynn demonstrates that our current health system, like our concepts of health and disease, developed at a time when life was mostly short, serious illnesses and disabilities were common at every age, and dying was quick
Inhalt:
Just the facts: serious chronic disease in the last phase of life -- Seeing the world differently: ideas to shape reform -- Good care for some people, sometimes -- Surveying the terrain: opportunities and challenges -- Good care for us all: building the care system to count on
