A Move Towards Home Health Care

Governor Kasich plans to save the state millions of dollars by cutting down on reimbursements for nursing homes, where care is more expensive than the national average. It will ease budget pressure and, he says, keep mom and dad at home. How would that work?

Join us Wednesday at 9 on 90.3.
