This podcast is supported by PhRMA. Big nonprofit hospital systems are making billions on medicine markups. Thanks to the federal 340B program, they can mark up medicines 1,000% or more. And with no guardrails, hospitals can spend program profits on luxury perks and, at the same time, engage in aggressive debt collection practices. They get rich, and patients pay the price. Washington should fix 340B. Visit phrma.org/340Bmarkup to learn more.

[news jingle plays] From The New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today is Tuesday, June 23rd. Here's what we're covering. The Supreme Court is in the final stretch of its term. It's set to announce decisions for more than a dozen remaining cases over the next two weeks, including several that will be major tests of President Trump's power. Those decisions could start coming down as soon as this morning. Here's some of the big ones to watch for. First, birthright citizenship. The president signed an executive order on his first day back in office to end the longtime understanding that babies born in the US are citizens, even if their parents are undocumented. If the justices uphold his order, it would redefine what it means to be an American and affect hundreds of thousands of children each year.
