Step2: get an access token. This is where i get stuck. I'm supposed to send a POST request with the consumer_key and the redirect_uri, which i fail to understand. My script sits at
domain.com/pocket/index.php, which is where i would like that the token be sent, so i'd assume the redirect_uri is that url. But in the documentation, they use something like "pocketapp12388:authorizationFinished" which does not look like a url to me.
Fantastic. Moved from Ontario to Alberta and needed my images. Signed up. Put details of where imaging was done and I received images quickly. Then you click share images and put in an email address and send to your new doctor or radiologist . The staff were great helping with some questions I had. Awesome service.
Having access so easily and quickly has made a huge difference to my family being able to have informed discussions on treatment plans. It has brought peace of mind in knowing when things are done and the outcome.
Instantly got my imaging records without going through my doctor so I can decide how to manage my care. I feel in control of my body instead of leaving it up to the current broken medical system that doesn't care anymore.

In our last post, we explored the challenges associated with worker premium contributions. In this post, we will look more closely at how high out-of-pocket costs are hurting families, and the resulting financial and health care access consequences.
California-specific data on underinsurance is not available for 2018, but an earlier version of the Commonwealth Fund survey found that California had a lower rate of underinsurance than the U.S. in 2016. This likely reflects the fact that, compared to all Americans, Californians are less likely to have deductibles in job-based coverage. However, given the growth in average deductibles over the last decade as discussed in a previous post, individuals and families in California, like their counterparts in the rest of the country, are seeing growing out-of-pocket costs negatively impact their financial well-being and access to care.
In terms of health care affordability, Californians with job-based coverage are most worried about unexpected medical bills (32 percent) and out-of-pocket costs (23 percent), according to a 2018 survey by Kaiser Family Foundation/ California Health Care Foundation. These health care affordability worries ranked higher than concerns about affording gasoline and other transportation costs (18 percent) and monthly utilities (12 percent). They were second only to rent or mortgage payments (25 percent). Given these competing financial needs, Californians are faced with difficult decisions about how best to prioritize their expenses.
The high degree of worry about unexpected medical bills reflects how common it is to receive these bills. As of late 2018, approximately three out of ten (31 percent) Californians, regardless of insurance type, received an unexpected medical bill in the prior year, in spite of several policies in California that protect consumers in certain situations. For example:
According to the 2018 Kaiser Family Foundation/ California Health Care Foundation survey, 17 percent of California adults age 18 to 64 with job-based coverage report difficulties with paying medical bills in the past 12 months.
Difficulty paying medical bills is driven not only by the high cost of health care, but also by broader financial insecurity among many U.S. households. Nationally, four in 10 adults would not be able to cover an unexpected expense of $400 without selling something or borrowing money, according to the Federal Reserve. Among U.S. adults with job-based coverage with a deductible of at least $1,500 for a single person, 44 percent do not have savings that exceed their deductible amount, according to the 2018 Kaiser Family Foundation/LA Times survey.
With the increasing cost of health care, individuals and families are forced to forego medically-necessary services. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation/California Health Care Foundation survey, 38 percent of adults in California with job-based coverage report that they or a family member postponed care or medication due to cost. More specifically, 23 percent skipped dental care or checkups, 17 percent postponed getting health care, 16 percent skipped a recommended medical test or treatment, and 13 percent did not fill a prescription.
The challenges associated with unaffordable out-of-pocket costs are more common among certain groups with job-based coverage in the U.S. Nationally, adults with job-based coverage who have high deductibles, income under $40,000 per year, or someone in their household with a chronic condition are more likely to report difficulty affording care or insurance or paying medical bills, and are more likely to delay or skip care due to cost, according to a 2018 Kaiser Family Foundation/LA Times survey.
With a wide range of adjustment options, this pocket will accommodate a number of pressure dressings, trauma bandages, or similarly sized medical supplies. There is a slit for your pen and an easy to grip flap which allows you to quickly open the pocket. It secures with 6/9 attachment style and has two different snap positions to help keep your load as streamlined as possible.
I was preparing to submit a manuscript to a journal when I made a fatal realization: the journal publishes everything as open access and the author(s)/institution/funding agency must cover the cost ($500). This was a solo side project that I undertook on my own time with no co-authors nor outside funding. I was not expecting to publish this as open access as I was unaware of this policy. In fact, when I initially targeted this journal I thought that some articles were open access and others were not. Upon further inspection this is not the case. I'm clearly at fault for not being diligent enough about the journal's policies.
Am I crazy for wanting to just submit the paper and pay the open access fee out of pocket? $500 does not seem exorbitant compared to other journals' fees. Unrelated to my current situation, a few weeks ago I spoke with my advisor about creative ways to fund open access, but he stated that our university does not have options for funding - this must come through grants. It doesn't seem right asking him to cover the fees as he was not involved in the project and is not a co-author.
In this question, @ff524 suggests seeking funding through PLOS or a fee waiver through the journal/publisher. Other questions on Academia SE result in answers suggesting that authors request funds through the university, library, etc. When is it appropriate to ask for a waiver and/or seek funding from an outside source? Prior to submission, during submission, or after a paper is accepted? It seems like a massive waste of time to seek funding from multiple sources only to have a paper be rejected outright. At the same time, it would seem like withholding relevant information to wait until after a paper is accepted to ask for a fee waiver.
I don't think you're crazy at all. From a purely economic point of view, although $500 sounds like a lot of money, it is quite insignificant (in a US context) compared both to your future earnings once you graduate, and to the present potential earnings you are foregoing by attending graduate school in the first place instead of working at a "real job". Thus, if you truly think that paying the fee will help you get on with your other research projects and graduate faster and/or with a more impressive publication record, then, assuming you can afford to pay the fee without sacrificing other important or crucial things at least, it seems to me that paying the fee is a reasonable decision.
With that said, I think a note of caution is also in order. My main concern is that a good proportion of the journals that charge open access publication fees are predatory journals, and given that you are a graduate student and new to publishing, there is a risk that the journal you are considering publishing in could be one of those. I would therefore suggest not paying any fee until you have made absolutely certain, by consulting your advisor or other experienced researchers, that the journal in question is a reputable one and that publishing in it will actually further your career and goals. Good luck!

Objectives: Previous research highlighted that in the early 2000s a significant share of the Italian population used and paid out of pocket for private healthcare services even when they could potentially have received the same treatments from the National Health Service (NHS). The decrease in public investments in healthcare and the increase in health needs due to the population ageing may have modified the use of private health services and equity of access to the Italian NHS. This study aims to investigate the change in the prevalence of individuals who have fully paid out of pocket for accessing healthcare services in Italy between 2006 and 2019 and the main reasons behind this choice.
Outcome measures: Prevalence of access to fully paid out-of-pocket private health services; type of service of the last fully paid out-of-pocket access; main reasons for the last fully paid out-of-pocket access.
