Robert MacNeil and Judy Woodruff address world news of the day and host discussions about drought in Mississippi, Health Maintenance Organizations, and the Supreme Court review of a previous ruling on civil rights for The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour. Mississippi is suffering the worst drought in recorded history, making shipping on the river impossible and causing the river to take in water from the Gulf of Mexico affecting drinking water. The possibility of diverting water from the Great Lakes is discussed. Health Maintenance Organizations charge a flat monthly fee for any health care that a patient needs, many doctors are resistant claiming that it will lead to less time spent with each patient and people overusing their services. The Supreme Court is reviewing a previous ruling on the Runyon v. McCray case, which gave a private citizen the right to sue on the grounds of racial discrimination. This review is unusual because there was no call to review the ruling; recent conservatives nominated to the Supreme Court may change the outcome of the decision.
