Marketplace Morning Report for Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Airing on Tuesday, June 23, 2015: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley declared that the Confederate flag should be removed from the statehouse grounds. Now, Wal-Mart is saying its removing all Confederate flag merchandise from its stores. More on that. And Congress gets to work this week figuring what to do with federal education funding for next year. A lot is on the chopping block, including grants for improving math and science education, and school safety, as well as Title I funds for low-income students. Plus, there’s an increasingly popular theory that underlying problems like poverty, addiction and social isolation drive some patients to be hospitalized and use the ER more. Some doctors, hospitals and insurance companies believe that by addressing those, you can improve health and save money. So why do skeptics outnumber the optimists?
