Grand Rapids TakeActionMn Holds Forum on Health

Minnesota became the first state to pass legislation to implement the state Health Care Insurance Exchange required by the Affordable Health Care Act also known as "Obamacare". Exchanges in other states have been created by executive order and many states are going to let the federal government run their exchange.

The Grand Rapids area TakeAction Minnesota organization held a forum with local legislators to hear about plans for the exchange and their views on health care. Here is an audio story about that forum, a version of which was heard on Northern Community Radio:
