TY - GEN T1 - Sick to death and not going to take it anymore! : reforming health care for the last years of life T2 - California/Milbank books on health and the public ; A1 - Lynn, Joanne, 1951- LA - English PP - Berkeley, Calif. : New York PB - University of California Press ; Milbank Memorial Fund YR - 2004 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm56607531 AB - 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.
