• Lacey Donle: When Following Doctor's Orders Means Paying Out of Pocket (familiesusa.org) — A Lisbon preschool teacher describes how following doctors' orders after her brother's sudden death left her with thousands in medical bills despite having insurance. She explains why high Marketplace premiums and deductibles nearly pushed her to go uninsured, and urges federal help so Maine families can afford coverage, before a new job finally brings her more affordable insurance.
