INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — WellPoint has already raised a 2014 earnings forecast it laid out earlier this year, but projections from the nation's second-largest health insurer are still below analyst expectations. WellPoint is selling coverage on 14 state-based health insurance exchanges created through the federal health care overhaul, a law designed to help millions of uninsured people. The exchanges make up a relatively small slice of WellPoint's overall business, which also includes employer-sponsored coverage and enrollment in the government's Medicare and Medicaid programs.
