Study: LA Likely Headed For Catastrophic Earthquake

A new study says Los Angeles, California could be heading for a
catastrophic earthquake. The US Geological survey reports earthquakes
should happen in the San Andreas fault region every 100 years, but the
last one was 160 years ago. With pressure building along the fault 30
miles from downtown LA, the study predicts an earthquake there would
heavily shake America's second largest city.

President Trump urges support for healthcare bill despite opposition from both parties

A major battle is shaping up in the United States over healthcare reform.

President Trump has endorsed a House Republican plan to replace President Obama's system. If passed, it would no longer be compulsory to have medical insurance, but there would be a system of tax credits to persuade people to enroll.

Democrats have already come out against the plan, but many conservative Republicans also oppose it, saying it doesn't go far enough in removing the government from healthcare.

Mr Trump is urging passage of the bill, saying a major reason he was elected was to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Conservatives lash out at GOP plan to repeal and replace Obamacare

Reaction to a Republican party plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, has been mixed- even among Conservatives.

The White House insists the plan to replace former President Obama's signature legislation, tackles the key issues.

The Republicans' bill repeals most of the taxes and subsidies under Obamacare, and offers tax credits based on age instead.

It also sends insurance regulation back to state level, and freezes Medicaid expansion.

White House spokesperson Sean Spicer defended the administration's approach to getting the bill passed.
