[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.9%), Nasdaq Composite (-1.5%), and DJIA (-0.4%) have at least temporarily stabilized from their early retreat.
Four S&P 500 sectors are now back in modestly positive territory, including the health care sector (+0.1%).
Managed care names such as Centene (CNC 41.23, +0.77, +1.90%) and UnitedHealth (UNH 342.55, +5.82, +1.73%) outperform as Politico reports that moderate House Republicans and Republican leadership are discussing adding an amendment vote to the healthcare bill that will extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, with a vote expected next week.
