Description: Extensively updated and restructured to utilize the "problems" approach. The text highlights general principles and emphasizes areas that remain most problematic. This classic book deliberately seeks to state expressly the general principles - both of the underlying conflicting public policies and the legal solutions to those problems. This edition has been restructured into a format that emphasizes the problems of health care law by heading sections with a question.
