Despite a high rate of doctors per person, too many residents in our region live without adequate access to medical care. And 2007 may be a watershed year -- with the closure of the Washington Free Clinic, the administrative and medical problems at Greater Southeast Hospital, and the possible closure of Prince George's County Hospital. Kojo talks about the opportunities and impediments to building healthy communities in our region.

The U.S. and India made headlines in 2005 when the two countries announced a deal to share U.S. civilian nuclear technology. Now, the agreement seems to be on the rocks, and U.S. officials are scrambling to salvage the plan. We'll look at the dispute and its impact on security in an increasingly strategic region.
