Reply to Help Finding Health Insurance Coverage by ananas33333
Recent experience: the health care system in general, and Mass Health in particular, actively discourage advanced planning and won't meaningfully interact with you until you've had a qualifying event. We tried to arrange coverage in November/December to begin the 1st of January, and it was like talking to a brick wall.
Magically, January 3rd, the 1st business day after our previous coverage had expired and we were "qualified", all of the sudden folks were willing to talk to us. Somewhat miraculously, the customer service was actually pretty good once we were "qualified".

Black Magic Chimney & Fireplace in Cambridge did a nice job for us a couple years ago. They have a small show room but most designs aren't on display.

Rhubarb is a spring thing... If you find something this time of year it's either frozen or flown in from Peru (aka, dipped in jet fuel)

- Launch of overnight service, thereby allowing "hard-core" staff members to sleep on the train

you'll have to wait until their big fund raising gala in May, but it's totally possible to get a drink at the Museum of Science.

You might look into things that are law-adjacent; I'm thinking particularly of "compliance" work. There's quite a lot of that in both universities (research) and finance and I know some non-practicing lawyers who are happy in the niche.

The effort to supervise a 1-off volunteer is more trouble than the labor is worth

if you get a sunny day, it can be a nice time of year to go for a walk on the beach. We like Plum Island.
