THURSDAY THEATER: Sister Stella L.

This classic of Filipino/Pilipino American and labor cinema follows Sister Stella Legaspi, a nun committed to staying out of politics … until she experiences a picket line and begins to question the violence of apathy. Filmed during (and boldly critical of) Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorial reign, the film is both a political and personal coming of age tale.

All 2.37 million Californians in the individual market will face higher premiums if Congress does not act by 2025

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) included additional federal subsidies to make health insurance more affordable in the individual market, but these expire at the end of 2025. If Congress does not extend the expanded subsidies and levels revert to those in the original Affordable Care Act, all 2.37 million Californians in the individual market—including those not receiving subsidies—would face higher health insurance premiums and be forced to choose between more expensive coverage, less generous coverage, or forgoing coverage all together and going uninsured.
