Marketplace Morning Report for Wednesday December 10, 2014
First up, we'll parse through the trillion dollar budget bill Congress has agreed to.

And a staggering $700m is wasted each year when perfectly fine but unused drugs are destroyed. And that’s only the tally at long-term care facilities. We profile how one company is trying to divert that waste back to patients who struggle to pay for their medications.
