Radio Roundtable: The Effects of the Affordable Care Act on Tennessee

A look at the real impact of the affordable care act on Shelby County as well as the state of Tennessee.

Guest host Pierre Kimsey fills-in for host Eric Barnes, publisher of the Memphis Daily News, to moderate a discussion about the real impact of the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee with guest panelists Aisling Maki from the Memphis Daily News and Eleanor Boudreau from WKNO-FM

My mother introduced me to WKNO-FM and public radio long before I can remember. I suppose the first thing I really recall about WKNO-FM is that every afternoon, when my mother picked me up from school, the radio was tuned-in to The World, then All Things Considered, probably beginning around age 8. The way these reporters and hosts took you from the comfort of your mom's van to wherever in the world they were reporting from absolutely fascinated me. From then on, I was officially hooked.
