Senate Republicans want to include portions of their Obamacare repeal bill in legislation to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program, lawmakers told Bloomberg BNA. If Republicans can't pass a major overhaul of the Affordable Care Act in the weeks after they return from the August recess, they'll look to the CHIP funding bill as a possible vehicle for it, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the majority whip, told Bloomberg BNA.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich offered advice on how the GOP can better deal with healthcare on Sunday, saying Republicans need to be more ideologically flexible. "Republicans are going to have to admit that there's going to be a group of people out there who are going to need help," Kasich told CBS News' John Dickerson on "Face the Nation."

Republicans are leaving Washington Thursday for a month of recess with no clear direction on what they'll do next on Obamacare. Senate leaders want to just drop the issue altogether. Conservatives say they're still fighting for repeal. Moderates want to launch a bipartisan effort to fix the shaky Obamacare system.

GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) said they were glad that they had each other when they voted against moving forward on the Republican healthcare bill last week, the pair said Thursday on CNN. The two were the only Republicans who voted against the motion to proceed on the healthcare vote, leading the Senate to begin debating on their plans to repeal and replace Obamacare. The Republicans eventually failed to pass even their watered-down "skinny" repeal plan after Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) joined them in voting against the measure.

Last year, California extended full Medicaid benefits to child immigrants, no matter their immigration status, if their families otherwise meet the income thresholds for the joint federal-state health insurance program for the poor and disabled. Oregon just followed suit, joining the five other states plus Washington, D.C., that extend Medicaid health benefits to children living in the country illegally. Immigration advocates welcomed the news, but with the Trump administration cracking down on illegal immigration, they don't expect to see similar laws enacted in other states in the near future.

Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf scrapped his predecessor's health plan in favor of a Medicaid expansion when he took over as Pennsylvnia governor in 2015. But now a Medicaid plan with features of former Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's Healthy PA — including a work requirement — could become law under Wolf. Legislation passed by the state Senate late last month could re-shape the commonwealth's Medicaid program — potentially making benefit changes and requiring work from the program's able-bodied recipients.

Marta Jensen, Nevada's point person on Medicaid, watched on C-SPAN recently as the U.S. Senate debated health care reform. She had four different bills pulled up on her computer. The stakes were high for Nevada. Each of the bills would have repealed at least parts of the Affordable Care Act and affected Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides poor and disabled Americans with medical coverage. More than one-fifth of the state's residents now receive their health insurance through Medicaid.

Tuberculosis is an airborne bacterial infection that attacks the lungs and can be deadly. There's a common TB skin test, but the San Antonio health department says the skin test takes 48 to 72 hours to produce a result and is susceptible to false positives. A blood test is more accurate and requires only 24 hours to get results. A vial of blood can be tested to see if people are carrying TB without showing symptoms. That's called latent tuberculosis infection, a condition that puts them at much greater risk of developing active, contagious TB if they are exposed again.

A U.S. appeals court decided Monday that the federal government wrongly approved California's request to temporarily cut Medi-Cal reimbursement by 10 percent during the recession for hospital outpatient care. The ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said the federal government can approve such cuts only if evidence shows that the recipients of aid will have access to the same services as the general population.
