Regionally Speaking, Thursday, September 7, 2017

Yelp web site

Today: it's Reporters' Roundtable Thursday, when we turn to members of the local media to talk about the major stories they researched and wrote for print and online this week.  For this program, we talk to Giles Bruce and Dan Carden of the "Times" of northwest Indiana and Carole Carlson of the "Post-Tribune."

Their stories this week range from healthcare issues -- including a new partnership between Franciscan Alliance and CVS Pharmacy and how a Portage physician who rejected health insurance and charges his patients a monthly subscription fee for unlimited visits -- to the Health Indiana Plan 2.0 and how it could become a nationwide model -- to the latest issues involving the Gary Community Schools -- and how State Senator Eddie Melton (D) is helping his fellow Democrats across the state.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
