While Diane was out of the studio, resident health care expert Terry Frett jumped in to talk about the health care reform bill that President Obama recently signed. Specifically, he will be discussing the timeline of changes that will impact employers who currently offer group health insurance plans to their employees and the impact on those who do not. Terry starts this timeline right now and walks through changes made through 2014.

Terry doesn't stop there. Not on does he outline what changes will be happening when, he also outlines what an employer needs to know to prepare for these changes and the potential impact these changes will have on your health insurance plan premiums.

This show is a listening must for anyone with questions about health care reform and what it means for businesses everywhere.

Buy Local, Milwaukee

Last week, Diane had the opportunity to speak with several small business owners in and around Southeastern Wisconsin. Their success and continued existence relies on the patronage of their customers. Buying local is a trend that has exploded with the organic and environmental movements; however, it has profound implications for businesses unassociated with food products and the local economy.

For this show, Diane brings Nancy Quinn to the studio. She works with Our Milwaukee, a business alliance that advocates for locally owned businesses that provide a genuine, quality experience - in celebration of our community's unique character. It is the locally owned businesses that maintain Milwaukee's unmistakable style. Our Milwaukee has 175 business members who range from retailers to restaurants to business-to-business/service providers.

Listen in to hear Nancy speak about what buying local really means, the benefits of patronage to local businesses, and the awareness campaign they are running during the month of April.
