Let the Truth Pour In
Date: 24 July 1993
As Sarajevo totters, Americans and Europeans can agree to little more than hand-wringing about the dismembering of the former Yugoslavia. Yet without putting lives at risk, and at modest cost, the West could strike an important blow against nationalist bullies in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It can challenge the media monopoly by the warlords who foment tribal hatreds. Surveys show that 64 percent of Serbs glean their information from television, 12 percent from radio, 11 percent from newspapers. Token dissent is permitted in print and radio, but not on television; it offers only a picture of a suffering but wronged people who ardently support President Slobodan Milosevic.

We political reporters saw it coming, the true magnitude of the health-care crisis, the way it could tongue-tie even skilled professionals like ourselves who were accustomed to turning complex issues into simple buzzwords. It was clear as early as November 1991, when a puzzled Hal Bruno of ABC News was forced to ask the candidates in the middle of a televised debate: "Explain the Enthoven plan." Hearts sank, news disappeared in a great unstoppable wave of health policy, as the candidates rattled on about the Hawaiian approach, the virtues of broad-based community rating, managed care and managed competition (a.k.a. the Enthoven plan, named after Alain Enthoven, of Stanford University, who specializes in the economics of health care), the Canadian and the German system.
