The document summarizes two news articles from the WSJ business page. The first article discussed rising export demand boosting the US economy by stimulating domestic growth. The second article discussed how large employers are struggling with the costs and requirements of the new healthcare laws, with some considering cutting benefits or raising costs for workers to deal with the financial impact. It provided an example of one company's healthcare costs rising 2% due to the new regulations.

1. The WSJ page showed some promise on the 12th because on the recent article area in the economy section of the business page shows an article saying “Export Rebound Boosts Economy”. I read the first part of this article because it was locked for only members the beginning said that there is a heightening demand for American goods. This demand is going to help stimulate all American economies. I think this will be very good for all Americans. I choose the article “Firms Feel Pain From Health Law.” This article stated how big employers have to suffer through the first found of health-care charges. They have to hire consultants to deal with the new problems from the health-care. Some employers are considering changes in their plans like pushing costs to workers. The article talked about ow the companies are dealing with their new health-care plan. The relationship between the workers and employers is the employers having to suffer through all these new laws and how the workers are getting this benefits. The article states that the U.S Department of Health and Human Services says the health-care act “lovers cost for American Businesses. It give small tax credits and reimburses employers. This article shows an example with the Borders Group Inc. where 16,500 part-time employees get a type of health coverage known as a “mini-med.” This is limited coveraged. John Moore of Leggett & Platt Inc. says that this first round will raise costs by 2% for the company. <br />
