Part One: What is the Johnson Amendment, and why should we care about it’s potential repeal? Rob Boston from Americans United for the Separation of Church and State walks us through why it would be a bad idea to allow tax exempt non-profits – like churches- to be able to endorse or oppose political candidates.

Part Two: Marshall Allen is an investigative reporter with ProPublica, back to update us on his ongoing series called “Wasted Medicine.” His latest piece is called “Drug Companies Make Eye Drops Too Big – and You Pay for the Waste.” It’s a look at why things are packaged the way they are, and how much is wasted as a result. From eye drops to chemo – this contributes to our outrageously high drug costs.
