[5-Part Article Series]

We just got out of our open enrollment period at The Tribune, and I wasn’t especially happy with what I saw this year.
To The Tribune’s credit, our health insurance plan premiums didn’t rise. But everything else was bad news. You see, the deductible rose significantly — by 66% year-over-year.

Compass Medical files for bankruptcy after sudden closure – Boston News, Weather, Sports
Health care provider Compass Medical has filed for bankruptcy after abruptly closing its practices last week, records show.
Compass had locations in Quincy, Braintree, East Bridgewater, Easton, Middleborough and Taunton. It then confirmed an “imminent plan” to close its practices on Wednesday of last week, leaving hundreds without a job and thousands with health care headaches.
The company is now facing a class-action lawsuit that has said, in part, Compass’ sudden closure placed patients “…in the chaotic, stressful, disruptive, and unsafe position of having to scramble to find new medical providers, to fill and/ or refill prescriptions, to schedule and/or…

Volunteers are setting up all over Kingston, and across the province, speaking with the public about this issue and encouraging people to cast their vote.

How health care teams can help people with bedbugs: a patient’s perspective
As a patient with very low vision, chronic heart failure, type 2 diabetes, weight management concerns and fluctuating hemoglobin levels, it is difficult to not have feelings of isolation, poor body image and self-blame that impact my mental health and wellness.

Being afraid that I’ll be looked down on is one of the main factors that makes me not want to share information with them.
A few months ago, I disclosed that I had a bed bug infestation by my family doctor and nurse practitioner who visited…
