🏥 New Health Care Support for Nassau County's Disability Community

Big news from New York! Governor Hochul just set aside $25 million to help people with developmental disabilities get better health care in Nassau County. The money will create special health clinics that really get what people with developmental disabilities need. The New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) is making sure these clinics are built in the right places across Nassau County.

These aren't just regular clinics - they're designed with extra care and understanding. Local community leaders say this will make a real difference in people's lives, helping families find medical care more easily.

Do red cars cost more to insure?

You may have heard the myth that red cars cost more to insure, often with varying reasons why. The truth is, the color of your car has nothing to do with your premium. Insurance companies are more interested in your vehicle’s make, model, age, safety features, and your driving history. What’s not a myth, though — is that people really can save a ton of money by switching insurers. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to see if you could, too.
