STOCKS RISE AS HEALTH-CARE PACES GAINS
U.S. stocks turn higher, with the health-care sector leading the gains
on the belief that the passage of the reform bill will translate into
more insured customers for hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

WHAT HEALTH REFORM MEANS FOR YOU
No more worrying about lifetime limits on health coverage, about
whether your insurer will dump you when you get sick, or about whether
your adult child will be booted off your plan when he turns 18.

HOUSE APPROVES HISTORIC HEALTH-CARE OVERHAUL
In a climactic vote after a year of wrenching debate, the House of
Representatives approves a Senate bill overhauling the U.S.
health-care system, handing President Barack Obama a key victory on
the most significant social-policy legislation in decades.

DOLLAR AT 10-MONTH HIGH VS. EURO AMID GREEK WOES
The U.S. dollar advances versus major rivals, with the euro under
further pressure on signs of a deepening divide within Europe over aid
to Greece.
