Fri 9/27/13 at Noon & 7PM: Vermont's health insurance exchange, known as Vermont Health Connect,  goes online October 1. It's one of the first state exchanges to do so.

All summer, VPR has been answering your questions about how the exchange works and what you need to know to buy health insurance through it. Friday on Vermont Edition, we talk through more of your insurance scenarios and learn whether the exchange is ready for operation.

Our guests are Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, and Robin Lunge, the governor’s director of the health care reform.

Patti is an integral part of VPR's news effort and part of the team that created Vermont Edition. As executive producer, Patti supervises the team that puts Vermont Edition on the air every day, working with producers to select and research show ideas, select guests and develop the sound and tone of the program.
Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
