If you seriously don’t think Mexico has healthcare you need to take a step back and check your biases.
does having healthcare means having the right to access or actually receiving healthcare?
before you ask, I live in Mexico, so please enlighten me in how accessible is free healthcare in Mexico
I’m not certain what your question means. Are you saying that you personally have “free healthcare” but don’t have the right to use said healthcare? Because this reads like you are barred from healthcare for some reason.
Or are you saying that there are literally no healthcare providers in the country, or even within a “reasonable” distance, where reasonable can be up to an hour drive?
Edit: To be clear, I don’t think an hour drive is reasonable. But it’s a common thing in the US and Canada which most would agree “have healthcare.”
lol I'm not barred from healthcare, that is not the issue
the question is, what is healthcare to you? we don't have enough doctors, no medicines, no supplies, no beds, our hospitals are barely functional thanks to lack of maintenance.
instead of giving more funds to our public healthcare they are stretching it even more, they won't even make new clinics, they are repurposing other clinics for specialized healthcare to make room for this policy
cool now we have universal access to a declining healthcare system where nobody wants to go because it is less stressful to just suck it up and medicate yourself (you would be paying for the meds anyway) instead of spending a whole day waiting inside a clinic on the summer heat with no AC
and that's if you are lucky enough to be in an urban area, rural clinics are in even worse conditions and anything other than a flu would require you to go to a city (as you said, an hour drive minimum but way more depending on the area)
a lot hinges on that word "If", in your statement..
