		<description><![CDATA[Outrageous news from the USA. Although Medicare is primarily an insurance program for older Americans and the disabled, it has since 1973 covered those with end-stage renal disease, regardless of their age or condition. The federal program now pays for most costs associated with dialysis and transplantation. But for patients younger than 65, coverage of [...]]]></description>

HUTCHISON:  I think it is. MR. GREGORY:  Why did you say that? SEN. HUTCHISON:  It&#8217;s because it&#8217;s whether the insurance and the public option [in the health reform bill] are [...]]]></description>
