![]() ![]() Hinkle had also previously struck down a Florida Agency for Health Care Administration rule prohibiting Medicaid dollars from being used to cover the cost of gender-affirming medical treatments that assist in a gender transition. It also argues that the law, and the resulting rules adopted by the state Board of Medicine and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine have created a “crisis of availability of care” for trans adults. The lawsuit was subsequently revised to add several transgender adults as plaintiffs, arguing that the bill has erected “unnecessary barriers” to care and imposed “medically unsupported requirements” on transgender individuals. In June, Hinkle issued an injunction blocking the law until a court rules on its validity, finding that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in proving the law is unconstitutional. Parents of transgender children filed a lawsuit challenging the law, arguing that it infringes on their parental rights. The law restricting transgender adult patients also blocks doctors from prescribing gender-affirming treatments for minors. Separate in-person visits must occur if a physician issues any scripts for pharmaceutical products not previously prescribed to the patient. The restrictions also require doctors treating transgender adults to meet with them in person to administer treatments, eliminating any telehealth options for things like prescription renewal, and require that prescriptions for gender-affirming treatments like hormones only be issued by licensed physicians, not nurse practitioners. The Riley Roundup: Bop Till You GOP Edition ![]() The record does not show that a preliminary injunction would affect the surgeons’ willingness to perform the surgeries at this time.” But even if the plaintiffs’ testimony about this is not inadmissible hearsay - an unlikely proposition - the surgeons’ statements, without a further explanation, do not tie their decision to anything a preliminary injunction would cure. “Two other plaintiffs say their scheduled surgeries were canceled and that the surgeons said the challenged statute was the reason. But despite the plaintiffs’ contrary assertions, they may be able to obtain the treatment from others,” he wrote. Two plaintiffs will be unable to obtain hormone treatment from their current providers. “he challenged statute and rules do not prohibit adults from obtaining treatments of the kind the plaintiffs seek. District Judge Robert Hinkle, of the Northern District of Florida, denied a request for an injunction to stop Florida authorities from imposing those restrictions, finding that the four adult plaintiffs did not prove that the additional regulations governing the provision of gender-affirming care have significantly harmed them or impacted their ability to receive care. In summary, a cute story to watch, whether in cinema or at home in your PJ's, but I don't think I'd watch it again.A federal judge refused to block a Florida law that imposes restrictions and hurdles on transgender adults before they can access hormone therapy or surgical interventions. The soundtrack must have worked because I played it on the way home from the cinema. The subsequent casting was fine, Celine was a little random but a fun addition to the film - as was Nick Jonas. Normally I'd be frothing for the first kiss, but it came and went without much excitement. The writers spent a lot of time on Mira's past relationship, which made you lose focus on Rob, and therefore the chemistry felt lacklustre between them. However, i'm not entirely convinced the casting was on point with our leading couple. Love Again contains some beautiful romantic tropes, complete with the cameo and music of Celine Dion who you might call the queen of love songs. Now, it's worth mentioning that while rom-coms are my favourite film genre, that also means I am hyper critical of them. When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew I had to see it - especially if it meant a shirtless Sam Heughan on the big screen.
