The New York Times reports (link here) that Florida's legislature recently decided to allow insurance companies to sell health insurance that does not cover many basic needs.

Hi Everyone,

This post started out as a comment on Mallen's recent blog, but it was getting kind of long, so I just decided to share it with everyone on my own blog.  

I havn't been able to dedicate as much time to AM in the past weeks as I would have liked, but I always feel it is most important to contribute when I have a story about why I belive the work of AM is so unique and so important.

My name is Isaac, I'm a student at Lewis & Clark College in Portland. About a month ago, I took a break from organizing with the Archimedes Movement for a semester of study in Havana, Cuba. My program here revolves around learning Spanish, exploring Cuban culture academically and as a participant, and pursuing an independent photojournalism project.
