During the week of February 25-29, major political developments occurred as Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama outlined their health plans aimed at providing insurance for all Americans. While both plans share similarities, critics argue that Clinton’s proposal is more challenging for impoverished citizens. In Cuba, Raul Castro became the new leader, succeeding Fidel Castro after over 50 years in power. This transition raises hopes for a potential democratic shift in Cuba amid a complex U.S.-Cuba relationship influenced by Fidel's legacy.
