Oil Stain Spreads to Regulators May 27
Hour 1 This week the Inspector General of the Interior Department released a report detailing the cozy relationship between the government regulators and oil and gas companies. The report focused on employees at the Lake Charles, Louisiana office of Minerals and Management Service (MMS) and accuses them of accepting meals, football tickets, golf tournament admissions, hunting trips, and possible jobs. In addition, MMS workers used government computers to send over 314 links to internet pornography and two employees have admitted to using crystal meth. This hour, we’ll look at the corrupt culture in the MMS and how to reform it. Our guests are Mandy Smithberger, an investigator with the Project on Government Oversight and Bill Snape, senior counsel for the Center for Biological Diversity.

The Primary Care Crisis May 27
Hour 2 Philadelphia physician Richard Baron is worried that the primary care system in America is collapsing. There are too few primary care physicians and a growing number of Americans suffering from chronic diseases. A recent survey found that only 2% of medical students were interested in entering primary care, with the vast majority opting for more lucrative, specialized fields of medicine. Richard Baron, an internist and geriatrician with Greenhouse Internists in Philadelphia, is our guest this hour to talk about the crisis in primary care and what we can do to fix it.
