Vanderwicken, Martha S. - At Randem-County Hospital, January 28, 1969
Paper description
The health care crisis using Cook County Hospital as an example. The author touches on the political problems with the Cook County Commissioners running things. Then there is the AMA which resists change and which is a big lobby in both the State and National legislatures. Main problems: duplication of services in hospitals, misuse of Medicare, skyrocketing costs, uneven quality of care, and difficult accessibility for the poor.
