The nation's fastest-growing occupation, home health care workers and nursing assistants, is unlikely to keep pace with demand, given the stagnant wages and lack of benefits that come with the work.That's one conclusion easily drawn from reports released Tuesday by the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute (PHI).The organization found a quarter of home care workers and 20 percent of nursing assistants have no health insurance versus less than one in 10 workers nationwide, according to PHI's findings.

(AP)—The nation's progress in getting more people covered by health insurance slowed significantly this year, the government confirmed Wednesday in a report that tempers a historic achievement of the Obama administration.About 1.3 million fewer people were uninsured the first three months of this year, driving the uninsured rate to a record low of 8.6 percent, according to the National Health Interview Survey, an ongoing project of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Still, that progress is a fraction of the earlier gains seen under President Barack Obama's health care law.
