Four State Dept officials cleared over Benghazi security lapse
Washington Four senior officials from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Near East Affairs were cleared of security failures tied to the Benghazi 2012 attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. They will be reassigned after an State Department internal review found no breach of duty. House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa criticized the decision as a charity for avoidable accountability and said he would broaden his probe to cover the department’s handling of the investigation.

Premium increases slow as Kaiser reports moderation in cost
Kaiser data show 2013 average monthly premium of 490 for single coverage and 1363 for family plans, with premiums rising faster than inflation yet slower than past decades. The ACA is expected to push costs up in 2014, though many firms already provide benefits. In 2013 about 57 percent of U S firms with three or more employees offered health coverage, down slightly from 2012. In Ohio about 60 percent of employers offer coverage.

Rising employer health costs squeeze workers amid higher deductibles
The Kaiser study shows premiums rising faster than wages with 78 percent of workers facing deductibles in 2013 up from 72 percent in 2012. Small firms under 200 employees see 58 percent with a deductible of at least 1000 and many at 2000. The trend means employees pay more out of pocket for care while marketplaces under the ACA begin in October for those without employer coverage.
