					<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>

They hail from all corners of the United States and very different walks of life: a &#8220;downhome boy&#8221; from Kentucky, a third-generation Mexican-American from Texas, a stay-at-home mom in Pennsylvania, an Iranian immigrant in Los Angeles. Some oppose Donald Trump and all that he stands for, while others voted enthusiastically for him. Now, they are critiquing him. One hundred days&#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[Two health care-related bills had final hearings Wednesday, with each passing the House Health &#38; Human Services Committee before heading to the full chamber floor. As reported by LobbyTools, HB 37 seeks to define agreements for services between patients and health providers, cutting out insurers. That bill unanimously passed after two amendments added by Rep. Fred Costello, the Ormond Beach Republican sponsoring the bill. One change will shorten advance written notice to terminate an agreement from 60 to 30 days. The other&#8230;]]></description>
