The Triangle Kids’ healthBy Stephanie insurance Carson N.C. NEWS SERVICE RALEIGH – An unprecedented number of North Carolina children are gain- ing access to health coverage, according to a report by the Georgetown Uni- versity Center for Children and Families. The report shows that 96 percent of North Carolina children have health insurance with an additional 45,000 children getting coverage since 2013. RIBUNE Rob Thompson, senior policy and communications adviser with NC Child, THE TRIANGLE’S CHOICE FOR THE BLACK VOICE says accessing health care opens up a lifetime of doors for the children of T the state. "Health insurance is just the linchpin of being able to access needed med- ical care," he said. "So when kids are insured, they stay healthier for sure; VOLUME 18 NO. 38 WEEK OF NOVEMBER 13, 2016 $1.00 they're able to get care for serious medical conditions and that has an im- pact not just on their current well-being but on their ability to get an edu- cation, to stay in the classroom." The Tribune previews Even though more children have insurance than ever before, there re- main 99,000 children in North Carolina without it, the report says.

Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown University, says while the men’s basketball upcoming general election is highlighting areas where the country disagrees teams. on health care, progress has still been made in securing coverage for those in need. "We see success around the country, and I think this speaks to how, de- spite all of the fighting and very intense partisanship around the Affordable Care Act, we can feel good as a country that we've come together through Medicaid, CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) and the Affordable Care Act, and really reduced the number of uninsured children," she said.
Trump wins
WhiteBy Julie Pace House and Robert Furlow ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Donald Trump was elected America’s 45th president Tuesday, an astonishing victory for a celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on voters’ economic anxieties, took advantage of racial ten- sions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House. His triumph over Hillary Clinton will end eight years of Democratic dominance of the White House and threatens to undo major achievements of President Barack Obama. He’s pledged to act quickly to repeal Obama’s landmark health care law, revoke the nuclear agree- ment with Iran and rewrite important trade deals with other countries, particularly Mex- ico and Canada. The Republican blasted through Democ- rats’ longstanding firewall, carrying Pennsyl- vania and Wisconsin, states that hadn’t voted COURTESY PHOTO for a GOP presidential candidate since the 1980s.

This is a fun way to use up leftover barbecued chicken or turkey. Who doesn't love some cheesy, meaty nachos with smoky sour cream and fresh avocado? It's worth smoking some spice-rubbed chicken breasts just for this recipe. Using bone-in rather than boneless chicken breasts requires a longer cooking time, but there's a dividend: The meat has more time to absorb the flavorful smoke. 1. Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. 2. Whisk the chipotle cream ingredients, including any juices remaining from mincing the chipotle chile. Refrigerate until ready to use. 3. Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (350° to 450° F). 4. Mix the rub ingredients. Season the chicken breasts all over and between the skin and meat with the rub. 5. Drain and add the wood chips to the charcoal or to the smoker box of a gas grill, fol- lowing manufacturer's instructions, and close the lid. When smoke appears, grill the chicken, skin side down first, over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 25 to 30 minutes, turning once when the Members of the Challenger division of the Consolidated Football Federation pose for skin releases easily from the cooking grates. Remove the chicken from the grill and, when a photo after a season-ending tournament hosted by the Carolina Panthers. cool enough to handle, shred into pieces, discarding the skin and bones. 6. Increase the temperature of the grill to high heat (450° to 500° F). 7. Spread half of the tortilla chips into a large grill-proof pan. Distribute half each of the cheese, scallions, jalapeño, and chicken over the chips. Repeat with another layer. 8. Place the pan with the nachos over indirect high heat, close the lid, and cook until the cheese is melted and the chips are tinged golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes.
