Employees at the drugstores who don't report will face increased rates.
What would you do if you went in to work one day and your employer told you that you needed to report your weight, body fat and glucose levels or your insurance costs would jump by $600 a year? CVS employees -- including those in Medfield -- are dealing with that very issue right now, according to the Boston Herald. "This is an incredibly coercive and invasive thing to ask employees to do,” Patient Privacy Rights founder Dr. Deborah Peel told the Herald, adding that mounting health care costs have made these policies increasingly common.

In this column, you ask and Patch answers.
Last week (and again over the weekend), a frustrated Patch parker asked, "What's up with the new CVS parking lot? It's new and improved with nice landscaping, but is it me or is it a nightmare to park?" According to Planning Board documents, the new configuration has 71 spaces which is six fewer than before the CVS renovation. When the Planning Board asked if fewer spaces would suffice, this was their response: The average peak period parking demand has been calculated for the weekday and Saturday peak periods for all of the proposed land uses on the site including the CVS pharmacy, Palumbo Liquors, Subway, and Citizens Bank.
