This week In Conversation, we talk about the University of Louisville's plans to buy Jewish Hospital and other properties and how those plans could affect the commonwealth. U of L announced last week that it had cemented plans to buy the hospital and other facilities owned by its parent company for $10 million. But it hinges on a $50 million loan from the state, and lawmakers said a special session to approve that loan might not happen.

Our panel talked about the plan and what the hospital means to the community. Guests included State Senator Morgan McGarvey (D-Louisville), State Senator Stephen Meredith (R- Leitchfield), WFPL Health Reporter Lisa Gillespie and University of Louisville Emeritus Professor of Medicine Peter Hasselbacher.
