Monitor
How Shall We Pay for Medical Care?
par
Monitor was NBC Radio’s weekend magazine program, bringing together news, interviews, commentary, and cultural features in a broad-ranging broadcast. Rather than following a single continuing story, it offered listeners a changing mix of subjects and voices, with the feel of a radio journal exploring issues in public life.
This installment is titled “How Shall We Pay for Medical Care?” Its subject points to a practical and consequential question: how people and society meet the costs of health care. The program’s magazine format provides room for discussion and differing perspectives, making the topic accessible through spoken conversation rather than a fictional drama.
Monitor combines the immediacy of current-affairs radio with the variety of a weekend feature program. Its appeal lies in hearing important questions considered in a conversational broadcast setting, alongside the wider range of interests that defined the series.
