Today on Sundial: President Donald Trump is going after the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) by ending the subsidies for low-income participants. Trump critics say this will harm the working poor. There are healthcare experts, though, who say this could actually help Florida consumers. The Miami Herald's Daniel Chang will explain what happens next.

Many cities in Palm Beach County have banned medical marijuana dispensaries. Leaders are worried about opening that Pandora's box because they're worried about losing control of the expansion of the industry. We talk with the mayor of Boynton Beach, one of the few municipalities that are opening their doors to dispensaries.

There are restaurants in Miami that practice farm-to-table,  but one is taking the idea to another level. We'll meet chef and restaurant owner Niven Patel. He'll tell us about some of the misperceptions of Indian cuisine, as well as how he is trying to grow most of the food in his restaurants from his own backyard.
