    Study: Pregnant rural residents could have to drive farther for care with Medicaid cuts (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Residents in rural areas already drive long distances to deliver their babies. Now, a new analysis has found that they could have to drive a lot further because of cuts to Medicaid insurance. The Mountain West could see some of the longest drive times in the country. For example, in Nevada, if a rural delivery unit shuts down, the next closest unit may be over two hours away. The next closest hospital is about an hour away in most other states in the region. "I can't imagine being in a car tryin

    Arizona's Medicaid program already reimburses for doula care. Could Wyoming be next? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The majority of western states now let Medicaid help cover the cost of doulas, the trained professionals who provide emotional support and information to people before, during and after childbirth. It's a change from a decade ago, when only two U.S. states allowed Medicaid to reimburse doulas for their work. Now, 28 do, including Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. That's according to a map from the National Health Law Program, a healthcare advocacy group for low-income patients. Mon

    More U.S. forest lands could soon be open to ATVs, e-bikes and other motorized vehicles. On Aug. 21, the Trump administration announced it wants to revise the Travel Management Rule, a 20-plus-year-old U.S. Forest Service policy. It dictates when motorized use is and isn't allowed.

    Press freedom groups ask for transparency around national park deaths and injuries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A dozen press freedom organizations are asking for more transparency around deaths and injuries in national parks. They're urging the U.S. Department of the Interior to reconsider a December 2025 memo, which reportedly restricted National Park Service staff from telling the public about "fatalities, suspected fatalities, serious injuries, or emotionally sensitive incidents," the Washington Post reported in June. "Being transparent about deaths and injuries in the parks is not going to lead to mo

    Some of the nearly 360 billion tons of coal under federal land is in Arizona, report says (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Trump administration is investigating how much coal is under federal lands, but whether that translates to more mining has yet to be seen. A new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report says there are about 4 billion U.S. tons left at existing mines and another 356 billion that could be developed in new areas in lower 48 states.
