Affordable Care Act One Year Later; The Ways We Experience Touch, History in Fell's Point

The deadline to sign up for health insurance  under Obamacare is Sunday night. We take a step back from the sign-up rush to explore how the Affordable Care Act is affecting doctors and patients.

Then – How is something as tangible as our sense of touch connected to something as intangible as our emotions? Johns Hopkins neuroscientist David Linden explores just that question in his new book "Touch: The Science of Hand, Heart, and Mind". He talks about it with Tom Hall.

Plus: The history of Baltimore’s Fell’s Point neighborhood stretches back more than three-hundred years. Donna Hollie, an adjunct professor of history at Sojourner-Douglass College in Baltimore, tells us about the African-American owned businesses and churches that began there.
