A Florida woman is behind bars after she allegedly threatened a Blue Cross Blue Shield agent during a phone call about a recently denied insurance claim. Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism after she was recorded saying, "Delay, deny, depose. You people are next." Boston was upset about medical claims that had been denied recently and that she used the recent murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as an attempt to threaten the company.

healthcareuk newsgender dysphoriapuberty blockers

Puberty blockers for under-18s with gender dysphoria have been banned indefinitely in the UK, following official advice from medical experts. The government said that the way the drugs had been used was a 'scandal', with children being prescribed the treatment after only one online consultation. The Commission on Human Medicines found that the current prescribing and care pathway for gender dysphoria presents an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people. A clinical trial into the use of puberty blockers will be established next year to establish a clear evidence base for the use of this medicine. The ban has been welcomed by some, but criticized by others as 'discrimination'.

Republican Sen. Rick Scott has won re-election to the Senate in Florida, securing a second term. The GOP has also regained control of the Senate in 2025, as projected by the Fox News Decision Desk.
