A second day of technological snags kept some Iowa residents from comparing prices or enrolling in a plan on Iowa's new online health insurance marketplace Wednesday.
Hundreds of immigrants in the U.S. illegally have been "medically repatriated" to their homelands through a little-known removal system run by hospitals seeking to curb high costs.
Iowa's state government employment policies have not discriminated against black employees and job applicants, a judge ruled Tuesday in a case closely watched by civil rights activists.
Sometimes it pays to get help. A new study of 401(k) accounts provides further evidence that workers who get help pocket higher returns than those handling their own investment choices.
Just when they thought it was safe to go back in the water, many 401(k) investors who were regaining their comfort level with the stock market took another hit.
Average investors are frustrated that the U.S. government is no longer among the world's most creditworthy, and fear Monday's stock plunge may not be the end.
