Bill Young 'Gravely ill'

U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla., who recently announced he wouldn't seek re-election in 2014, has fallen very ill, according to a spokesman. Young had said he would not be seeking re-election partly due to his health. Young was staying in the hospital for a back injury, but his condition has worsened.

"Representative C.W. Bill Young's condition turned for the worse overnight and he is gravely ill," a spokesman for Young said. Young's doctor said his prognosis is "guarded."

Young has had one of the longest careers in Florida politics and has served in Congress since 1971.
