					<description><![CDATA[Unease and uncertainty are settling over Americans with serious illnesses as Republicans move closer to dismantling Democratic former President Barack Obama&#8216;s health care system. A New Orleans attorney with multiple sclerosis fears he&#8217;ll be forced to close his practice if he loses coverage, while a Philadelphia woman with asthma is looking at stockpiling inhalers. The Republican health care bill pushed through the House on Thursday leaves those with pre-existing conditions fearful of higher premiums and losing coverage altogether if the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Latest on the upcoming health care vote in the House (all times local): 1:35 p.m. The chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus says there&#8217;s &#8220;no deal&#8221; on the GOP health care legislation after a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump. The assertion from Congressman Mark Meadows of North Carolina throws plans for a vote on the bill later Thursday into doubt. Two dozen or so Freedom Caucus members have opposed the legislation pushed by GOP&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Military spending would get the biggest boost in President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed budget. Environmental programs, medical research, Amtrak and an array of international and cultural programs — from Africa to Appalachia — would take big hits, among the many parts of the government he&#8217;d put on a crash diet. The budget proposal out Thursday is a White House wish list; it&#8217;ll be up to Congress to decide where money goes. If Trump gets his way, there will be more losers&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Insurance premiums would soar and some 18 million Americans would lose health coverage if Republicans partially repeal President Barack Obama&#8216;s health care law without a replacement, Congress&#8217; nonpartisan budget office estimated Tuesday. The Congressional Budget Office analyzed a GOP 2016 repeal measure, which Republicans have cited as a starting point for their 2017 drive to dismantle and replace Obama&#8217;s health overhaul. Premiums for policies bought from online marketplaces established by Obama&#8217;s law would rise up to 25 percent a year&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s first, and defining, acts next year could come on Republican legislation to cut off taxpayer money from Planned Parenthood. Trump sent mixed signals during the campaign about the 100-year-old organization, which provides birth control, abortions and various women&#8217;s health services. He said &#8220;millions of women are helped by Planned Parenthood,&#8221; but he also endorsed efforts to defund it. Trump once described himself as &#8220;very pro-choice.&#8221; Now he&#8217;s in the anti-abortion camp. Still, the Republican has&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Business owners are replacing idealists in the pot-legalization movement as the nascent marijuana industry creates a broad base of new donors, many of them entrepreneurs willing to spend to change drug policy. Unlike in the past, these supporters are not limited to a few wealthy people seeking change for personal reasons. They constitute a bigger coalition of business interests. And their support provides a significant financial advantage for pro-legalization campaigns. &#8220;It&#8217;s mainly a social-justice movement. But undoubtedly there are business&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[More federal money finally is available to fight the Zika virus even as the news worsens: Babies who at first seem to have escaped its devastating hallmark defect — an abnormally small head at birth — might not be out of the woods after all. Brazilian doctors have counted a small number of babies who at birth had a normal-sized head and only later were found to have problems. They have delayed neurodevelopment. At five months, one could use one hand but&#8230;]]></description>
