TENEBRAE
1982 | Dario Argento
I just have this hunch that something is missing, a tiny piece of the jigsaw. Somebody who should be dead is alive, or somebody who should be alive is already dead.
On this day, 21 November 1922, Mexican anarchist communist of Zapotec mestizo descent Ricardo Flores Magón died apparently after suffering beatings in Leavenworth Prison, Kansas. He was one of the major thinkers of the Mexican revolution and the Mexican revolutionary movement in the anarchist Mexican Liberal Party. Additionally, he organised with the Industrial Workers of the World and edited the Mexican anarchist newspaper Regeneración, which aroused workers against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. Here is a short biography: https://libcom.org/history/magon-ricardo-flores-1873-1922 https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1270252866493194/?type=3

Right now, there are dozens of patients — U.S. citizens — in New Zealand hospitals who are fighting the clock. They have only a few weeks to recover and get home to the tiny island of American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the South Pacific.
“We have a cancer patient that is coming back in December,” says Sandra King Young, who runs the Medicaid program in American Samoa. “We can only give him six weeks of chemo, radiation and surgery. He has a good chance of survival if he has the full year of treatment, but not six weeks. The patient and family understand, and since they have no money, they have agreed to come back.”
The federal money to fully fund the Medicaid program in American Samoa and in all other U.S. territories is about to run out. As a consequence, the off-island referral program to treat conditions that the territory doesn’t have the local capacity or facilities to treat — the program that brought these patients to New Zealand — is getting shut down.
“It’s devastating for those people who need those lifesaving services,” King Young says. “People who need cancer treatment won’t get it. Children with rheumatic heart disease won’t get the heart surgeries that they need.”
All five of the U.S. territories affected — collectively home to more than 3 million Americans — are now desperately trying to figure out how to keep Medicaid running with only a fraction of the money they’ve had for the last several years. If Congress doesn’t increase the amount of designated money by the end of the year, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam say they would need to cut their Medicaid rolls in half; Puerto Rico says it would need to cut back dental and prescription drug services.
This is what people working on the issue have come to call the “Medicaid cliff.”
America’s ‘Shame’: Medicaid Funding Slashed In U.S. Territories
