HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM

Congressional politicians, state officials and health-policy experts are wrestling with how to help the nation's 47 million uninsured. Cities and states are experimenting with new ways to reform health insurance to make it affordable and accessible to individuals and small businesses. Meanwhile, regulators are clamping down on insurance companies for improper sales and marketing practices, particularly in the individual market.
