Karen Duckett was glad her husband, Timothy, was vaccinated in March because he has pre-existing health conditions—including three bouts with cancer—and has continued his work in auto sales throughout the pandemic.
She thought it would be a different story for herself. She’s 56, works from her Stafford County home and “wanted everyone else who needed the vaccine more than I did to be able to go first.”

For survivors, they may pay annual salaries worth of bills; for those who died, their families do not get a funeral. Instead, they will get a visit from one of the country s ruthless collection hound dogs.
A bombshell report in
JAMA on lawsuits and wage garnishments by hospitals for unpaid medical bills in Virginia refueled discussions surrounding medical debt. As I looked closer at this issue in my own state of Maryland, I learned how hospitals got lured into the business of suing their patients after caring for them.
