FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of a bill aimed at transgender health care puts the state in the middle of a national fight, but with more immediate consequences as the state’s looming election offers an early test on the state-by-state assault on gender-affirming care for minors.
The veto issued Friday set off competing messages likely to be repeated until the November election — when Bluegrass State voters will decide whether to reward the Democratic governor with a second term or hand over the governor’s office to a Republican. No one seems to know yet how much…

A Perceived Philosophical Conflict – PHE America
I am the only female in my high school PE department. It’s been this way for 20 years.

Since we’ve had a fully working weight room, it was always paired with the football coach. We got a new one this year, the fifth in my tenure working at this same high school.…

Opinion: Decentralizing Alberta Health Services is the wrong move
Article content
The minister of health received her mandate letter from the premier this week, instructing her to “reform the management and structure of Alberta Health Services (AHS) to better decentralize decision-making.” This directive is wrong-headed and represents an ongoing distraction to the changes actually needed in our health-care system.
To be fair, the government should be recommended for its focus on health-system priority areas over the past eight months, including emergency care and surgery. Building on pre-existing AHS work, evidence-based actions were implemented by AHS, leading to measurable improvements that were only possible because of Alberta’s provincially integrated health…
