HE HAS A CASE OF BRONCHITIS.

COLLIER HOSPITAL CLIFTON LIVE-2SHOT VO FLY LIVE

IN COLLIER COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON,

THERE'S A PUSH TO BRING IN A NEW HOSPITAL.

THE EMERGENCY CARE FACILITY WOULD SERVE PEOPLE IN AVE MARIA, IMMOKALEE AND GOLDEN GATE ESTATES.

NBC2'S CLIFTON FRENCH IS IN IMMOKALEE -

COLLIER HOSPITAL CLIFTON LIVE-REM LIVE

IT WILL BE YEARS BEFORE SOMETHING COULD BE DONE.

COLLIER HOSPITAL CLIFTON LIVE-PKG

Jose Puentes, Immokalee Parent "He wasn't even born yet, the doctor diagnosed him with an enlarged kidney so for about 6 months we had to go to the doctor in and out."

JOSE PUENTES' THREE YEAR-OLD SON HAS BEEN SICK HIS WHOLE LIFE.

Jose "He's always going to the hospital."

WHILE HAVING A SICK CHILD ISN'T EASY. HAVING A SICK KID IN EASTERN COLLIER COUNTY IS EVEN MORE OF A CHALLENGE.

STU; "For people in Immokalee, Golden Gate Estates and Ave Maria, there's no hospital. They have to go to either Fort Myers, Lehigh or Naples, taking an hour to an hour and a half to get there."

Jose "You're tired, you just got out of work and you have to drive an hour and a half just to go to the hospital."

FRANCISCA CURIEL WORKS FOR REAL LANDS CHRISTIAN MIGRANT ASSOCIATION, A GROUP THAT HELPS THE MIGRANT POOR.

MANY OF THE PEOPLE SHE SEES DON'T HAVE CARS OF THEIR OWN.

SHE SAYS PEOPLE HAVE FOUND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY FROM THE POOR BY GIVING RIDES TO THE HOSPITAL.

Francisca "Those people that do transport are charging them about 120 and that's just from here to Lehigh, Fort Myers or Naples which is much shorter."

Francisca "She had to pay between 60 and 120 she said."

THIS WOMAN, A MIGRANT WORKER AND MOTHER OF 4 HAS PAID WELL OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR RIDES TO THE ER.

SO WHILE IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE LIKE JOSE WHO DRIVE THEMSELVES, HE FEELS EVEN WORSE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T.

COLLIER HOSPITAL CLIFTON LIVE-REM LIVE

THE NEXT STEP IN GETTING A HOSPITAL IS TRYING TO DETERMINE IF AND WHEN IT WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE.

BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEVELOPER BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE NEED, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF THERE WILL BE A HOSPITAL, ONLY WHEN.

OBAMA & ROMNEY-OC

CHRIS THANKS.

WHAT'S ON THE MENU?

AS YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR LUNCH - TODAY IN WASHINGTON, THE PRESIDENT WILL BE WELCOMING MITT ROMNEY TO THE WHITE HOUSE - FOR A WORKING LUNCH DATE.

IT'S THEIR FIRST MEETING SINCE THE ELECTION.

OBAMA & ROMNEY-TRX PKG

The last time President Obama and Mitt Romney came face to face, they were locked in a bitter fight for the presidency.

Today, they'll try to bury the hatchet, as Mr. Obama fulfills his promise to engage with Romney -- hosting him for a one-on-one lunch at the White House. The president's spokesman was careful, though, to manage expectations.

SOT:

IT'S A PRIVATE LUNCH. ONLY THE TWO MEN WILL BE IN THE ROOM. AND I'M SURE IT WILL BE A USEFUL DISCUSSION.

Meanwhile, with the so-called "fiscal cliff" looming, Mr. Obama sends his chief negotiator, Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner, to Capitol Hill today for individual meetings with each member of the congressional leadership including Speaker Boehner.

Wednesday, Mr. Obama brought back a campaign atmosphere, surrounding himself with what he called "average middle class families" to ramp up pressure on Republicans.

SOT:

IF CONGRESS DOES NOTHING, EVERY FAMILY IN AMERICA WILL SEE THEIR TAXES AUTOMATICALLY GO UP AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.

The president wants Congress to extend the Bush tax rates for those making less than $250,000, but would let taxes go up for everyone else. And he'll take that message on the road Friday to Pennsylvania.

Not to be outdone on the P.R. front, House Republicans hosted a group of nervous business leaders who have signed on to a campaign called "Fix the debt," who want big spending cuts to supplement the tax hikes.

SOT:

WE'VE PUT REVENUE ON THE TABLE AS LONG AS IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY SERIOUS SPENDING CUTS TO AVERT THIS CRISIS.

NATSOT

And as the president gets set to change up his Cabinet, he took time out of Wednesday's Cabinet meeting to defend the woman who could be his next Secretary of State.

SOT:

SUSAN RICE IS EXTRAORDINARY. COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF THE JOB SHE'S DONE AS US REP. 1/8APPLAUSE 3/8

Following that vote of confidence for Rice, the outgoing secretary of state Hillary Clinton also spoke out.

SOT:

SUSAN RICE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB AS OUR AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS.

Still, Rice had to spend another day on Capitol Hill, discussing Benghazi with skeptical Senate Republicans.

WESTERBECK FILED A POLICE REPORT. THEN POSTED THE VIDEO ONLINE. BUT SO FAR, NO SUSPECTS.

TO AVOID PACKAGE THEFT, MANY DELIVERY COMPANIES ALSO OFFER SIGNATURE OR DELIVERY CONFIRMATION SERVICES FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

For the second day in a row, clouds will be pretty stubborn this morning, and most of us will start the day with a canopy of low clouds filtering the sun.

The cloud cover will also work to limit heating during the first half of the morning, so conditions will be rather cool to start the day with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

In conjunction with the cooler temperatures, a swift wind out of the east will bring an added chill to the air this morning, and we'll continue to see a stiff breeze through the day with gusts reaching 20 mph.

As we progress through the mid to late morning, the blanket of low clouds should begin to break, allowing for a few rays of sun to penetrate to the surface. This process should continue gradually through the afternoon, giving us a mix of sun and clouds for the second half of the day.

After this morning's somewhat chilly start, temperatures should warm quickly into the upper 70s this afternoon once the clouds break up.

Rain prospect will continue to stay low, but one or two sprinkles can't be ruled out, particularly father south close to Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City.

Look for a partly cloudy sky tonight with temperatures in the low 60s across the urban corridor and mid to upper 50s over the interior.

Friday will likely offer up another day of more clouds than sun along with a slim chance of a sprinkle or two. Winds will stay very breezy, and temperatures will warm to 80 during the afternoon.

Sunshine will be on the increase as we head into the weekend, but we should also see our fair share of afternoon clouds riding in on a strong easterly breeze.

SO WHAT'S IT TASTE LIKE?

Fruity, juicy, clean. Definitely a little pineapple.

THIS TYPE IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IT GROWS ONLY AT HIGH ALTITUDES AND THERE ARE FEWER CHERRIES PER TREE.

Ok this is a smoother flavor the other one slightly bitter.

I believe this one. it just tastes richer.

It kind of has beany taste. tastes like the bean.

FIVE WEEKS AFTER SURGERY. AUDRINA IS RECOVERING IN THE NICU. GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY. THE LONGEST LIVING BABY IN TEXAS TO HAVE BEEN BORN WITH THIS RARE CONDITION.

"Right now what we have over the heart is skin and a bit of muscle so she doesn't have a

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

For the second day in a row, clouds will be pretty stubborn this morning, and most of us will start the day with a canopy of low clouds filtering the sun.

The cloud cover will also work to limit heating during the first half of the morning, so conditions will be rather cool to start the day with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

In conjunction with the cooler temperatures, a swift wind out of the east will bring an added chill to the air this morning, and we'll continue to see a stiff breeze through the day with gusts reaching 20 mph.

As we progress through the mid to late morning, the blanket of low clouds should begin to break, allowing for a few rays of sun to penetrate to the surface. This process should continue gradually through the afternoon, giving us a mix of sun and clouds for the second half of the day.

After this morning's somewhat chilly start, temperatures should warm quickly into the upper 70s this afternoon once the clouds break up.

Rain prospect will continue to stay low, but one or two sprinkles can't be ruled out, particularly father south close to Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City.

Look for a partly cloudy sky tonight with temperatures in the low 60s across the urban corridor and mid to upper 50s over the interior.

Friday will likely offer up another day of more clouds than sun along with a slim chance of a sprinkle or two. Winds will stay very breezy, and temperatures will warm to 80 during the afternoon.

Sunshine will be on the increase as we head into the weekend, but we should also see our fair share of afternoon clouds riding in on a strong easterly breeze.
