Hello friends, I’d like some help. My position with The Associated Press has been eliminated. I am looking for new opportunities. I welcome big challenges after covering health care, one of the most complex topics in America today. Please reach out if you know of any leads.

@DarrelNg Thank you so much for asking, Darrel. I am open to opportunities outside journalism.

More price cuts are coming to help people without insurance afford #obesity treatments like #Wegovy and #Zepbound. But doctors say the drugs will still be unaffordable for many. Our @AP look: https://t.co/rZYgMc0DBY

Extra complications are on tap for health insurance shoppers this fall. Enhanced tax credits that help people buy coverage will expire, and costs are expected to soar. How should you deal? @APHealthScience has thoughts: https://t.co/4IoHWYo4yW

#CVS surprised Wall Street with a better-than-expected third quarter. But the company’s push into providing care, which included a more than $10-billion acquisition, has hit turbulence. Our @APBusiness story: https://t.co/iYPpWSHpap

“Even 24 years later, it’s heart wrenching,” said Jennifer Nilsen, whose husband, Troy Nilsen, worked at Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center. “It feels the same way every year.”

Canadian filmmaker Sean Menard recently uncovered nearly 100 reels of film chronicling Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope in 1980.

This previously unseen footage is coming out later this year in a documentary titled “Run Terry Run”. It looks incredible.

Have you tried getting a new COVID-19 vaccine yet? Please email me at [email protected] if you are up for a short conversation for an article we are putting together.

[Tom Murphy @thpmurphy]

You may need to check with your insurer and drugstore before going to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine. Access to the shots and the question of who will pay for them isn't as clear as it has been in previous years. Our @APHealthScience look: https://t.co/gl67kDgygC

We looked at what's behind a big number: the 10 million people expected to be uninsured in 2034 due to the tax and spending bill passed earlier this summer. Here's our @APHealthScience story on what this means for patient care: https://t.co/6hl4ugZYct
