Affordable healthcare has long been out of reach for many Americans. The Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law by President Obama, is designed to change that. But despite the publicity surrounding the recent roll-out of 鈥淥bamacare", many immigrants remain unaware of the new programme. We hear how outreach workers in some immigrant communities are trying to change that.

We also hear about why some Mexicans living along the Mexican side of the US border want to secede, sample a new documentary on the history of film that doesn鈥檛 focus on Hollywood, and get a first-hand account of pop artist Andy Warhol鈥檚 1976 visit to Tehran.
