We've all heard that people are working from home since the COVID pandemic. And we've heard on individual social media posts that New York is a ghost town on social media. I didn't realize quite how many are either not working or working from home when I drove to the train station at downtown Fairfield. This photo was taken at ten minutes afternoon on a Tuesday. This place would normally be packed with cars as well as cars parked on the side streets. This put things into perspective for me. I'm sure if you commute from here you are as shocked as I.

Since the 1990s, the price of insulin has increased by over 1,000 percent, rising from $20 per vial to $248 per vial. For the six million Americans who rely on insulin, the price increases often have life or death consequences. One recent study found that 1 in 4 American patients ration their insulin due to cost, and this has resulted in tragic, avoidable and inexcusable deaths. HB 6003, "An Act Concerning Diabetes and High Deductible Health Plans," would cap a person's out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $25 per month, cap noninsulin drugs like glucagon at $25 per month, and cap diabetic equipment and supplies (such as blood glucose test strips, glucometers, lancets, and syringes) at $100 per month. This press release…

Since public health officials have warned that COVID-19 is likely to spread through crowded, indoor public gatherings, many voters who would not normally qualify for an absentee ballot are concerned about voting in person on Election Day. HB 6002, "An Act Concerning Absentee Voting and Reporting of Results at the 2020 State Election and Election Day Registration," would amend Connecticut law only for the 2020 Election to allow for absentee voting due to "the sickness of COVID-19," ensuring that no one is forced to…
