The Biggest Insurance Scheme of All Time?
UnitedHealth Group, one of the country's largest insurers, settled what may be one of the largest health insurance schemes of all time on Tuesday after allegedly cheating sick patients out of hundreds of millions of dollars. And it probably would not have happened without Mary Jerome, an advanced-stage ovarian cancer patient who finally just said "enough" after getting hit with $46,000 in medical bills - even though she had top-notch insurance coverage.

The Pain of Chasing Warren Buffett

Banks Get Stinger With Reward Card Rewards
Banks have dangled such rewards as cash and airline tickets since the 1980s to encourage consumers to charge more, and more often, to their credit cards.
