Organizers trying to sign people up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act say they're launching their most extensive effort yet in Florida.
Express Scripts says its third-quarter net income climbed 9 percent, and the nation's largest pharmacy benefits manager gave a more optimistic earnings forecast for the year.
Insurance brokerage Aon said Friday that its net income rose 26 percent in the third quarter as revenue improved at its risk and its human resources businesses.
Key contractors on the troubled Healthcare.gov website tell Congress the bugs can be fixed and won't prevent uninsured Americans from getting coverage.
Lawyers for Hobby Lobby have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the company's lawsuit against the federal health care law requiring coverage to include access to the morning-after pill.
About 35,000 Washington residents have signed up for insurance through the state's new health care exchange since it opened on Oct. 1.
