I just checked. You can still buy wallpaper.

Grandpa -- amateur wallpaper hanger -- would be spinning in his grave to see this unmatched edge. Patterns were supposed to line up.

Can't you throw it away if it's been contaminated with bodily fluids? Or is that only for clothing?

No reason to be hostile about it dude. I do want single payer and vote for the democrats every election. It is what it is, I'll look into ACA plans I guess

Declining Masshealth coverage is NOT a qualifying event. Loss of coverage must be involuntary to count as a qualifying event. You are still eligible for Masshealth due to the Public health emergency but you have to report that you're married if you live together and make sure that Masshealth has all your current household information.
Once the public health emergency ends, if you don't qualify for Masshealth after being re-determined, then that is a qualifying event and you would use the termination letter from Masshealth (bring it to husband's employer) to open a Special Enrollment Period for you.

My parents' house, built in 1976, had "tall ships" themed wallpaper in the den that was very similar to this.

My good college friends live in Western MA. When we would go visit them they would even say...Chicopee is a dump and never go there.

I have actually! I visited a friend in a neighborhood nearby about a month ago. Took the train to Alewife and walked from there, and geez has that entire neighborhood changed. Brand new luxury apartments and trendy retail spots (this was at night too!).
If Dorchester is what we have to compare to the high crime neighborhoods in cities like Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Maryland, DC, ect, then Boston is in pretty good shape.

I believe you can decline Masshealth coverage and that counts as loss of coverage, which is a qualifying event.

We tried but It’s not a “qualifying event” or “open enrollment”

>Some mattress companies if you buy from them will take your old one for free.
Not everyone getting rid of a mattress is replacing it though - some are moving and/or downsizing and don't need as many mattresses at the destination.
Proper manufacturer responsibility links to the origin, not the purchase of a replacement

Honestly, no. I used to drive for a living and I have been all over the eastern seaboard so I am pretty sure I have driven through there at least once or twice.
I think the closest to there that I have spent any time at was a restaurant near I-291 but that was years ago and most likely East Springfield. Cajun food, huge servings. Last time through they said they were calling it quits.

Connecticut seems to have a program to recycle mattresses for free.
https://mattressrecyclingcouncil.org/programs/connecticut/
New rules like the mattress ban take some time for the disposal system to adjust and become something people can live with. Returnable bottles and cans were a big hassle for people at first, but somehow people adjusted. Getting mattresses that don't need to be replaced as often, or that easier to throw out, might start to enter into people's purchasing decisions.
