Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham has said Labour will put "people before profit" in the NHS, as he promised to "rescue a shattered service".
He told the Labour conference its blueprint for an NHS "personal to you and your family" would be at the centre of its general election campaign.
Terminally ill patients would have the right to free palliative care at home.
Labour has said it will inject £2.5bn into the NHS to pay for 36,000 more GPs, nurses and other professionals.
On Tuesday, Ed Miliband announced plans for a "time for care" fund to pay for 20,000 more nurses, 8,000 more GPs, 5,000 more care workers and 3,000 midwives by 2020 - paid for by a crackdown on corporate tax loopholes, a "mansion tax" and a levy on cigarette makers.
Mr Burnham said the one of the first acts of a Labour government would be to repeal the coalition's re-organisation of the NHS in England to stop what he said was its "dismantling".
