S&P 500 Stocks: UnitedHealth, Centene Rise Amid Push For House ACA Vote

Health insurance stocks continued to rally on Friday as moderate House members worked to force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies to keep 4 million Americans from losing coverage. UnitedHealth Group and Centene led managed-care stocks higher, bucking the market downdraft that pulled the S&P 500 into negative territory. Oscar Health, whose central business is providing ACA Marketplace coverage, also rallied.
