Affordable Care Act

Connecticut, like other states, launched an online health exchange -- Access Health CT -- where residents can shop for and purchase health insurance. There could be new opportunities for the unemployed or uninsured to receive health insurance. Here, we gather our coverage of changes under the new federal law.

On Tuesday, former Governor John G. Rowland took to the airwavesat his usual time on his WTIC AM talk show, despite being named in federal court as an alleged co-conspirator to a campaign finance scheme. He wouldn't comment on the accusations, only to say, "I am not going to be discussing the recent news and legal developments. I am sure that you all understand. And I want to respect the process."

Today on The Wheelhouse, we talk Rowland, political corruption, legislative turnover, Obamacare deadlines in Connecticut, and Dan Malloy's re-election campaign. Also, we talk about a study that looks at academic performance for the 2014 NCAA Division I men's and women's basketball teams. It doesn't look good for the UConn men.
