		<description><![CDATA[The Health and Medical Insurance industry is an integral part of the U.S. economy. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, U.S. health expenditures account for about 18% of U.S. GDP. Money spent per person on healthcare in the United States is more than in any other nation in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Despite rapidly growing spending on healthcare over the past few decades, health insurance industry has been characterized by growing premium, limited policy choice and lack of transparency. Over the past 10 years, health insurance premiums have persistently increased, outpacing the growth of wages and cost of living. The surge in premiums &#8212; due mostly to complex connections among health insurance companies, health care providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and the medical technology industry ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As part of its effort to unwind its holdings in Citigroup Inc. (C), the U.S. Treasury has announced its plan to commence selling $2.2 billion in trust preferred securities (TRUPS) it received from Citi in relation to the Asset Guarantee Program (AGP). The Treasury has made it clear that it will sell the TRUPS at a price which is not less than its par value plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions. The Treasury had received these TRUPS in January 2009 as part of its effort to rescue Citi from the clutches of the recession. The TRUPS were part of the Treasury’s agreement to share Citi’s potential losses on $301 billion of Citi’s assets.
