Associated Press "There are some people who have very bad insurance, but they don't know it because they don't understand the fine print. We said, 'You know what, you're right. You should be able to keep the health insurance you have, even if it's not very good. Even if you could get insurance on HealthCare.gov, you should be able to keep it,'" said President Obama.

Chrysler plans to hire up to 1,000 part-time employees to give exhausted full-time workers a break at its Toledo Jeep assembly plant. The extra help will allow the plant to run the Wrangler line every Saturday, which it hasn't been able to do. That's important to Chrysler, which is trying to squeeze even more Wrangler production out of the plant this year after a record year in 2013. (AP Photo/Madalyn Ruggiero, File)
