					<description><![CDATA[A Broward County nursing home has filed a lawsuit seeking to block Gov. Rick Scott&#8216;s administration from cutting off Medicaid payments and carrying out a moratorium on patient admissions after the deaths of nine of the facility&#8217;s residents following Hurricane Irma. The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills filed the lawsuit late Tuesday in Leon County circuit court, seeking injunctions against orders issued last week by the state Agency for Health Care Administration. Those orders suspended the facility from the Medicaid&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida&#8217;s price tag for losing legal battles &#8211; which has included courtroom fights over drug testing, voting rights and gay marriage &#8211; continues to grow under Gov. Rick Scott. Scott recently agreed to pay $1.1 million to cover the legal bills of physicians and medical organizations in their successful challenge of a law that restricted doctors&#8217; ability to talk to patients about guns. The law had been pushed through the Florida Legislature at the urging of the National Rifle Association.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gov. Rick Scott said federal lawmakers need to keep their word, and continue their efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. “They can’t stop,” said Scott following a stop in Fort Myers on Monday. “They all promised they were going to repeal and replace Obamacare, and they got to do it.” The Naples Republican’s comments come as Congress returns to an unresolved debate over GOP proposals to roll back much of former President Barack Obama’s health care law.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Andrew Gillum is calling for a constitutional amendment declaring affordable healthcare is a fundamental right for all Floridians. Gillum, one of three Democrats running for governor in 2018, announced Tuesday he was proposing a constitutional amendment to declare affordable health care a “fundamental right of all Floridians.” The proposed amendment, according to a ballot summary provided by the Gillum campaign, would add “a new section to Article 1 of the Florida Constitution.” “The following language shall be added to Article&#8230;]]></description>

Marco Rubio released a video statement Thursday saying he won&#8217;t judge the new Republican Senate health care bill until he has studied it, while Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson blasted it. “Now we know why they tried to keep this secret,&#8221; Nelson said in a statement issued by his office a couple of hours after the bill, which was drafted under closed doors for weeks, was released. &#8220;This bill is just as bad as the House&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With the end of the Legislative Session mercifully (hopefully?) in sight, the discrepancies between Senate and House budgets on various issues are becoming more heightened. At times like these, the two sides need to learn how to swallow their pride when it’s clear one chamber has the better plan. This lesson would serve them — and the people of Florida, the ones they are supposed to be serving — when the subject turns to funding of our state’s hospitals. The&#8230;]]></description>

Rick Scott, U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price, M.D. as well as Centers for Medicare &#38; Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma, and Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) Secretary Justin Senior announced the federal government’s commitment to continuing funding for the Low Income Pool (LIP) in Florida. The amount will be over $1.5 billion annually, nearly a billion dollars more than what the Barack Obama administration provided to Florida. The LIP program&#8230;]]></description>
