Wall Street opens slightly lower; semis drag


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks opened lower on Wednesday as a gain in healthcare stocks was offset by a drop in semiconductors following a profit outlook from Texas Instruments Inc .

    Health insurers rose after Senate Democratic healthcare negotiators said they agreed to replace a government-run insurance option with a scaled-back non-profit plan.

    The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 13.31 points, or 0.13 percent, to 10,272.66. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index shed 1.14 points, or 0.10 percent, to 1,090.80. The Nasdaq Composite Index dipped 6.80 points, or 0.31 percent, to 2,166.19.
