Gästkrönika i Svenska Dagbladet 27 mars 2020
Article published on 17 April 2020 on global opinion site Project Syndicate. From the article's opening paragraph: "As the coronavirus pandemic has swept the planet, Sweden has stood out among Western democracies by pursuing a "low-scale" lockdown. Whether this approach speaks to a unique strength of Swedish society, as opposed to bad judgment, can be determined by comparing Sweden's COVID-19 rate with its neighbors'."
Ledartext i Svenska Dagbladet, 31 mars 2020: Även om Socialstyrelsens nya riktlinjer för "prioritering inom intensivvård under extraordinära förhållanden" är nyanserade, finns det anledning varna för en mekanisk tillämpning, skriver Hans Bergström, tidigare chefredaktör för DN.

This essay discusses important aspects of reforms in healthcare in Sweden at the beginning of the 1990s. Healthcare systems are marred by a set of basic dilemmas, without any final solution. The solution to one problem, like low productivity, tends to be followed by new problems arising from the solution. There is also a strong path dependency, given how important health care is in people's lives. Structural reforms are needed, but it is equally important to preserve and promote good cultures. A safe forecast is that health care systems will meet more self-assured patients. Informed patients, though, are mostly for the better.
Lecture in Atlanta and San Francisco at Swedish-American seminars, about political institutions and healthcare systems. The lecture was published in "Viewpoint Sweden", number 12, July 1992.
