Last week we visited the monument that honors LATIN AMERICAN WORKERS
who helped rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It’s important to remember that immigrants contribute to our communities in many ways, including their labor. I guarantee you nobody was was checking documentation back then. We needed help and we were fortunate to get it.

Today in Labor History April 13, 1873: The Colfax massacre, occurred in Colfax, Louisiana. A mob of former Confederate soldiers and current KKK members murdered 60-153 black militiamen after they surrendered. The militiamen were guarding the parish courthouse in the wake of the contested 1872 election for governor. Southern elections during Reconstruction were regularly marred by violence and fraud. It was the worst act of racist violence during Reconstruction.

Gathering the dead after the Colfax massacre, published in Harper's Weekly, May 10, 1873.

ACA Signups · Congressional District Enrollment: LouisianaOver the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage. USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU ABOVE TO FIND YOUR STATE & DISTRICT. You can find the data sources & methodology explanation links here. ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​

Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills.

But the insurer did make some exceptions. On several occasions, Blue Cross executives signed deals to pay for their wives’ treatment.
