Senator John Marty and Health Care in Minnesota

Stone Arch welcomed in December Senator John Marty of Roseville Minnesota.  Stone Arch has included several discussions concerning health care in Minnesota, including Doctor Steven Miles in 2006, Senator Linda Berglin in 2007, and Ted Marmor earlier this year.  Senator Marty brings a local perspective much different from what we heard from Senator Berglin last year.  Take a listen, and don't forget that this pod cast was brought to you by the DFL Education Foundation, and iDream.tv.
