Are you a healthcare provider who experienced anti-Asian racism? Please consider taking this survey conducted by UCSF Asian American researcher, Dr. Judy Y. Tan.
Calling all healthcare workers (broadly defined, e.g., therapists, medical assistants, nurses, physicians, psychologists, surgeons, dental hygienists) for a ~10-minute survey about their experiences during COVID-19. Survey questions range from physical and mental well-being, experiences with COVID-related stigma and harmful stereotypes of certain racial/ethnic groups, and experiences in working with patients during and prior to COVID-19.
The survey may take as long as 20 minutes to complete, and respondents will be able to leave and resume where they left off. Responses will be kept strictly confidential. Respondents will not be asked to provide names or contact information except for their current zip code. The study has been approved by the UCSF Institutional Review Board.

Entertainment media and culture have a powerful impact upon society and race relations. These entities have the capability of influencing attitudes and behaviors.
To that end, I want to highlight Minari,a current movie about a Korean-American family that settles down and creates roots in the American south a few decades ago. The family members are all heart-warming and the film has already won some awards. I cried at certain points with the husband and wife conflicts and the young son and daughter and their grandmother who arrives from Korea to live with them. Minari is endearing simultaneously in its simplicity and complexity of family life.
The Academy Awards will be aired in April. Minari is nominated for numerous awards.I am hoping that the film industry honors this movie with at least one Oscar, and in doing so, shines light on Asian culture, while raising awareness, compassion and inclusivity at the same time. I am also hoping that, in light of recent events, Hollywood sees fit to create more Asian-American offerings in cinema and on television.

1. Why did the US Congress enact the law in order to seize the Republic of Vietnam?
2. Why has the US Congress approved the sovereignty of the Republic of Vietnam, but the Government of the US did not enforce the Unites States laws with the Republic of Vietnam?
3. Why did not the Government of the United States of America respect any the America law, the United States of America, the International Agreements, and the protocols of international relations with the Republic of Vietnam when the America is greatest power?

We, the American citizens and the human beings, look back the Vietnam War of the Government of the United States of America when we do think this war in which the United States of America has revealed the unfair policy of the America. Because the United States Congress did not only respect its own ruling but also fooled a small nation, the United States Congress self walks above its own law and its super values of Constitution. Because of the United States treaties, the American laws, and the protocols of international relations , and the international Agreements with the Republic of Vietnam are bad less than the certificates marriages when the wife and the husband was divorced by each other. So the American Court system had ordered the child support. However, alls of things have belonged to the Vietnam War in which the American laws, the United States treaties, the International Agreements, and the protocols of the international relations are torn shred by the United States Congress when the Congress enacted foreign Assistance Acts to seize the Republic of Vietnam. We have looked black the Vietnam War when we exactly realize the human rights of the America in which have revealing the barbarous war of the Vietnam of America because the proxy war of America has imprisoned 1,000,000.00 the Southern Officers and murdered 300,000.00 the Southern Officers, the politicians, and the pundits by the event of on April30, 1975, by the Kissinger who has sold off the Republic of Vietnam to lets him protects a core of interests of America, but the Government of the United States of America did not only compensate any pennies to the war victims bus also brings them home makes modern slavery war in the America.

Bipartisan Bill will Restore Medicaid Coverage for COFA Citizens
October 23,2019
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Representatives Tony Cárdenas (D-CA), Amata Coleman Radewagen (R-AS), Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Steve Womack (R-AR), Ed Case (D-HI) and Gregorio Sablan (D-MP) introduced the Covering Our FAS Allies Act (COFA Act), a bill to reinstate Medicaid eligibility for the more than 61,000 citizens of the Freely Associated States living in the United States and its territories under the Compacts of Free Association (COFA).
“COFA communities have contributed to our nation’s security, pay taxes and play a role in driving our economy, but they are not eligible for many of the programs that their tax dollars support,” said Kathy Ko Chin, president and CEO of APIAHF. “We thank Representatives Cárdenas, Radewagen, Gabbard, Womack, Case and Sablan for correcting a nearly 25-year error, by working to restore Medicaid eligibility to COFA individuals. We hope that the bill will continue to receive bipartisan support and will be passed in the House and Senate.”
The Compacts of Free Association, since 1986, have defined the relationship between the United States and the independent governments of the Freely Associated States (FAS) including the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. In return for the exclusive use and military strategic positioning in those countries, the United States entered into a treaty agreement to provide care for individuals from the Freely Associated States (commonly called COFA communities), along with the right for them to freely enter, live and work in the United States.
In 1996, Congress inadvertently excluded COFA individuals from the list of legally present non-citizens eligible to qualify for certain federal benefits. Since then, COFA individuals have been excluded from qualifying for Medicaid. The denial of Medicaid has led to poor health consequences for COFA communities, many of whom suffer from serious chronic conditions and health disparities, including effects from exposure to nuclear weapons testing conducted by the United States in FAS nations. In the absence of federal support, states with large and emerging COFA populations have shouldered the costs of providing care.
This legislation is the companion namesake to Sen. Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Sen. Brian Schatz’s (D-Hawaii) bill, S. 2218, which was introduced in July.
