August has been an unusually busy time for Wall Street, with a key Federal Reserve decision and surprisingly good economic data keeping investors busy, culminating in a strong rally last week that pushed the major indexes to three-month highs. This week, however, is likely to be the Wall Street equivalent of a humid, hazy, summer Sunday afternoon -- slow. With barely any corporate earnings of note and no economic data due until Wednesday, Wall Street's biggest challenge will be preserving the momentum from last week, or at least not losing ground. Benign inflation data last week, including an unexpected drop in core wholesale prices, led many investors to believe that the Fed's decision to stand pat on interest rates two weeks ago was the right one. Further, it now seems less likely that the Fed would resume raising again, at least for the short term.

The Democrats' approach is to shore up the kinds of large pools that traditional insurance programs rely on -- using the premiums of the many who don't file claims in any given period to pay the claims of the relatively few who do. They would also put the insurance industry on a tighter regulatory leash. "The specifics can be sort of mind-bending, but on the very broad choices, McCain emphasizes a vision where individuals get more choices in the marketplace and are less reliant on employers and government," said Robert Blendon of the Harvard School of Public Health, an expert on public attitudes about healthcare reform.
