As the COVID toll climbs, sick workers and families of the dead face another daunting burden: fighting for benefits from workers' compensation systems.
The proposal would allow immigration officials to count the use of non-cash benefits as a "heavily weighed negative factor" in deciding whether to grant permanent residency.
Ending Temporary Protection Status for Haitians "will have a devastating impact on the ability of skilled nursing facilities to provide quality care to frail and disabled residents," warns one expert.
Wellness coaching aims to rethink how we treat aging. When young people become disabled, others often help them find ways to contribute to the world, but that is much less true for older people.
