With move-in day right around the corner, overpasses all over the Boston area need your help. They need to not be hit by a moving truck on Storrow Drive or Soldiers Field in Boston & Memorial Drive in Cambridge. Plan your move in day route accordingly & watch for the signs!

Even "good" health insurance has its flaws. When J.J., a Calif. mother, sought out-of-state treatment for her son's cancer, the insurer wouldn't cover it. Learn how we're advocating for policies that protect patients in our report with @ManattHealth 👉🏽 bit.ly/3vLYfMa

Budget reconciliation trivia: Republicans couldn’t repeal the ACA individual mandate through reconciliation so set the tax penalty to $0. The case now before the Supreme Court argues a mandate without a tax penalty is unconstitutional so the whole ACA should be thrown out.

Is there a word for the feeling you get when you realize someone you love and respect still isn’t taking COVID seriously? It’s a weird mix of grief, powerlessness, and loneliness that feels very specific to being stuck in a pandemic.

1. Some legal-writing advice meant esp for first-gen law students. College taught me that the key to good writing was originality. 1L-year exams taught me that sounding like a lawyer was about spotting every issue. To become a good legal writer, I had to unlearn both lessons.

Pres. Biden to sign an executive order today reopening HealthCare.gov for a special enrollment period (SEP), from Feb. 15th through May 15th. 36 states currently use the federal marketplace (the rest have their own state-based market places which can set their own SEPs).
