What Trumpcare Means for West Virginia

All three West Virginia Congressmen voted for the American Health Care Act – the bill to repeal Obamacare.

“The Front Porch” is where we tackle the tough issues facing Appalachia the same way you talk with your friends on the porch.

“The Front Porch” is hosted by conservative lawyer and columnist Laurie Lin, WVPB CEO Scott Finn, and our liberal, goat-herding, Greek-loving, Hillbilly-philosophizing, American-Friends-Service-Committee working co-host, Rick Wilson. 

An edited version of “The Front Porch” airs Fridays at 4:50 p.m. on West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s radio network, and the full version is available at wvpublic.org and as a podcast as well.
