A federal judge blasted UnitedHealthcare last month for its "immoral and barbaric" denials of treatment for cancer patients. He made the comments in recusing himself from hearing a class-action lawsuit because of his own cancer battle — and in so doing thrust himself into a heated debate in the oncology world.At issue is a treatment known as proton beam therapy, an expensive alternative to standard radiation that proponents say is a more precise form of treatment with fewer side effects. Opponents have questioned whether proton therapy is worth the high cost to fight some forms of cancer, and insurance companies have often denied coverage for the treatment, calling it "experimental."The case that came before US District Judge Robert N. Scola was brought by a prostate cancer survivor who alleged that UnitedHealthcare wrongfully denied him and thousands of others coverage of proton beam therapy.In his recusal, Scola cited his own battle with prostate cancer and how he consulted "with top medical experts around the country" about treatment options. Scola said that he ultimately opted for surgery but that "all the experts opined that if I opted for radiation treatment, proton radiation was by far the wiser course of action."The judge also cited a friend who was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and got hit with a 0,000 bill after UnitedHealthcare refused to pay for his proton beam radiation from MD Anderson Cancer Center. "Only upon threat of litigation did UnitedHealthcare agree to reimburse him," Scola wrote."It is undisputed among legitimate medical experts that proton radiation therapy is not experimental and causes much less collateral damage than traditional radiation," wrote Scola, a US District Court judge for the Southern District of Florida. "To deny a patient this treatment, if it is available, is immoral and barbaric."UnitedHealthcare declined to comment about the remarks. Instead, the insurer noted that it 1960

A grower in California has set the state record in the state by growing a pumpkin that weighs 2,175 pounds, according to officials from the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh Off. The pumpkin was one of nine that weighed in over 1,000 pounds this week at the event in California. The pumpkin was also one of two that weighed more than 1 ton. The grower was Leonardo Urena of Napa. Urena cashed in a ,225 prize, and his pumpkin will be featured at this weekend's Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival. This year's pumpkin tops last year's heaviest pumpkin, which weighed 2,170 pounds. The pumpkin nearly topped a gourd grown in New England, which weighed in at 2,294 pounds last week. 708

A bill that would ban the most common abortion method used in the second trimester of pregnancy was signed into law Friday by Ohio Gov. John Kasich.Senate Bill 145 prohibits the dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure, in which the cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus extracted. Though there is no exception in the law in cases of rape or incest, there is one if the mother's life is at risk.Any abortion provider who defies this law could face fourth-degree felony charges, including prison time and fines.The Republican governor's decision to sign off on this legislation sparked immediate backlash from abortion rights advocates.Kasich, who has signed more than 20 laws restricting abortion access in his eight years in office, has "again let the people of Ohio down by using extreme legislation to turn medical decision-making into political ideology," said Iris Harvey, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, in a written statement."Patients, and the medical providers who serve them, rely on the overwhelming medical evidence that shows abortion is one of the safest medical procedures," she continued. "The method ban dangerously limits people's options, undermines patients' constitutional right to access safe, legal abortion, and compromises medical providers' decision making."Ohio Right to Life lauded the governor's support of the "Dismemberment Abortion Ban," which is slated to go into effect in March."Ohioans can sleep easier tonight, knowing that the horrendous practice of dismemberment abortions is behind us," said Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life.He praised the outgoing governor and the Legislature for backing efforts to block abortions, saying "all of these initiatives have led to abortions decreasing by more than 25% in Ohio, and half of Ohio's abortion clinics shutting down."Looking ahead to Gov.-elect Mike DeWine, Gonidakis said, "the prospect of ending abortion in Ohio has never looked better."Bans on the D&E procedure have been signed in 10 states, including Ohio. But of those other nine states, all but two -- Mississippi and West Virginia -- have seen their laws at least temporarily blocked by the courts.The new Ohio law was one of two abortion bills to recently land on Kasich's desk. Also Friday, he vetoed the second bill: a six-week abortion ban, dubbed "the heartbeat bill," which he also vetoed in 2016.DeWine, who takes office next month, has suggested that he would sign such legislation if given the chance. 2525
