Boss’s business?
Concern is growing over a bill that would let companies request genetic testing and effectively charge employees more for health insurance if they refuse. The bill aims to clarify rules for workplace wellness programs but, as we hear, some say it would effectively amount to a penalty for privacy.
Health care costs
As a Republican bill to repeal and replace Obamacare hits the House floor, older Americans may want to brace themselves. Experts say health care consumers aged 50 to 64 -- old enough to have serious health care needs but too young for Medicare -- may well see a significant increase in costs.
Cash cushion
Although the U.S. economy is on the mend, millions of American families remain financially vulnerable to sudden swings in income that can make it hard to deal with an emergency expense. But how much money should people have stashed away to ensure they can cope with the unexpected?
“She Persisted”
The Clintons, America’s foremost would-be presidential dynasty, are apparently sticking around.

His career exploded with two seasons of “Chappelle’s Show” on Comedy Central, but he suddenly abandoned the show at the height of his success. Now he’s back, and he’s opening up to “CBS This Morning” about how escaping to his small hometown in Ohio makes him a better comic.
