As the final day of Amazon Prime Day 2021 starts to come to a close, we're still monitoring the best deals so far, from a comfy pillow to huge discounts on the Instant Pot and Roborock S6 robot vacuum.

So far, one of the biggest deals we've spotted is for the 23andMe Ancestry + Health Kit at $99 (normally $199, so 50% off). We consider this to be the best DNA kit for health data because it offers over 40 reports on carrier status reports (including information about whether you carry gene mutations for various inherited diseases) as well as over 10 health dispositions. It can also help you assess your genetic risk for diseases like type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease. 

While a 23andMe test can't tell you everything (a positive result doesn't mean you're exempt from any potential health problems, and a negative result doesn't guarantee you'll necessarily have them), it does rely on a robust DNA database and can potentially help you locate other family members — if you want to.

Well-liked Medicare plan vs. higher-ranked providers - ChicagoNow

Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7. The easy choice is to stay with all-in-one Medicare Advantage instead of switching to Traditional Medicare plus a supplement and drug plan. The hard one is whether to switch between Medicare Advantage plans, from a well-liked one to one accepted at a so-called top-10 hospital. Humana Gold Plus, a Medicare Advantage HMO, has served me well for five years. Hearing aids cost me only $10 after its $2,000 allowance. Routine doctor and dentist appointments and my medication cost nothing. But Humana Gold Plus is not accepted by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the nearby hospital that US News & World Report ranks as the tenth best in the country, or by Northwestern Medicine physicians. My primary care physician is in an Advocate Medical Group. If I were hospitalized, it would be at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. If I had a serious illness, I’d see specialists in Advocate’s network. Illinois Masonic is not a second-rate hospital, and
