- FOX 25 Boston News - http://www.myfoxboston.com - There are thousands of options when it comes to health care coverage. As Paul Gaznick of Methuen found out, its important to choose wisely.

I wasnt worried about me, maybe I should have been. He was my main concern. I have had him since hes been born, Paul Gaznick said.
Paul was looking for ways to save, so when a fax arrived from a New Jersey-based company called National Alliance, he signed up. It offered a family plan for $300 instead of the $900 he was paying.
He thought it was a great deal, until he actually needed it when his son suffered serious burns.

- FOX 25 Boston News -http://www.myfoxboston.com - When there's snow or fog at Logan International Airport and visibility is bad, air traffic controllers rely on ground radar to show them what's happening on the runways.
But there's a problem.
The ground radar system, known as ASDE-X, isn't working the way it should, according to Matt McCluskey, president of the Boston chapter of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, because it is telling controllers that vehicles like snow plows are on runways when they arent really there.
