Friday March 30th, 2012 @ 1PM - President Donna Shalala will stop by the WVUM Studios to talk with Michael, Wes, and Vinny about the Affordable Care Act as it enters the halls of the Supreme Court.

President Obama has marked his term with the biggest Healthcare Reform since President Johnson passed Medicare and Medicaid. As it is an election year, the GOP Presidential hopefuls have made the repealing of the Affordable Care Act the mantra or their campaigns. As the longest serving US Secretary of Health and Human Services in history, President Shalala will weigh in on the fate of the healthcare law as the Supreme Court hears the case.
