Fall has arrived in Michigan, and with it a proposal to make Michigan’s antiquated health insurance regulatory system one of the nation’s best. Accordingly, the Blues radio network will cover a wide range of topics in October. At the forefront is Gov. Rick Snyder’s proposal to transition BCBSM into a nonprofit mutual insurer and what it means for the Michigan Blues.

- Jim Haveman, director of the Michigan Department of Community Health, who provides expert insight on how the governor's proposal will impact the health care industry
- Rob Fowler, president and CEO of the Small Business Association of Michigan, and
