Next week on the Exchange, we begin by re-examining New Hampshire’s new self-defense law, known as “Stand Your Ground”, which has come up in the shooting death of a Florida Teenager. Then, a Granite State roundtable on Health Care: two years after it was passed into law, we’ll look at how the debate around the President’s health care law is playing out here. On Wednesday, we sit down with Democratic U. S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Join us all next week for the Exchange each morning at 9 and again at 8 pm, here on NHPR!
