The North Carolina State Health Plan is managed by the State Treasurer of North Carolina Dale Folwell. His office has been engaged in a bitter battle with the state’s hospitals and healthcare networks over pricing and the contract dispute has more than 700,000 teachers, state employees, retirees and their dependents caught in the middle. This week we talk to Treasurer Dale Folwell about his plans and we meet two educators very concerned about the impact this fight could have on them and their families.

Guests:

• Dale Folwell, Treasurer, State of North Carolina

• Susan Ringo, Librarian, Wilkes County Schools

• Mike Landers, Teacher, Cabarrus County Schools
