Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Four states currently allow a pharmacist’s moral or religious objections to trump an individual’s right to get a prescribed medication, and some 20 other states are considering similar legislation. Meanwhile, legislators in California, Illinois and several other states are looking to pass laws ensuring patients’ access to all prescribed medications, regardless of a pharmacist’s beliefs. We look at the moral and legal arguments of this debate.
