Maryland Health Exchange Round Two, "Painkillers, Heroin, And The Road To Sanity," Singer Lea

The second open enrollment period for the Maryland health exchange begins in a little over a month. Last year, the exchange sputtered and faltered from Day 1 through the fall. The site performed so badly, Maryland has adapted Connecticut’s exchange structure to use this year. With Sheilah to talk about how the exchange will work this year is Carolyn Quattrocki, head of the Maryland exchange.

Plus, it has been three years since we talked to Joani Gammill of Annapolis.  She’s a trained nurse and recovering pill addict who works as an interventionist – a professional who confronts addicts who are resistant to treatment and persuades them to enter treatment. Her first book, "The Interventionist," describes how she works.  Her new book takes us deeper into her own recovery. It’s called "Painkillers, Heroin, and the Road to Sanity." Joani Gammill joins Sheilah in the studio.

Then, singer/songwriter Lea speaks with Tom Hall about her new album. It's called Let You In.
