TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) – Devonte Brown scored 15 points, leading five players in double figures as Indiana State rolled to a 75-54 victory over Drake on Saturday afternoon. Brown finished with six assists and Khristian Smith added 13 points and six rebounds. Grant Prusator and Tre’ Bennett chipped in 12 points apiece, and Jake Kitchell had 10 as the Sycamores combined to shoot almost 55 percent from the floor, and 10 of 21 from distance.

Deadline approaches for health care coverage

News

February 14th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa residents seeking health care coverage on the federal exchange have until Sunday to sign up. This is the second open enrollment period under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, known as the Affordable Care Act. For the most part, enrollment has gone more smoothly this time, with fewer complaints about technical glitches.

Federal authorities say nearly 40,000 people in Iowa had signed up or had been re-enrolled in a plan as of last week. In Iowa, some consumers have been scrambling to find new coverage since the state took over a cooperative that was selling insurance to residents in Iowa and Nebraska.
