"I told you Mexico would pay for it!"

I was literally just thinking retiring to Mexico doesn't sound terrible in the future.

Free as in "free at the point of service".
Of course it is paid for somehow.
But as far a a someone going into a hospital to get a cast, medicine, birth... It's free

too late. migration started years ago. as long as the gringos bring money.

You're not kidding. Some towns like Los Algodones built their entire economy around medical tourism.

I'm sure you need to be a Mexican citizen to qualify for the program, I imagine foreigners get a bill. But I'm an American that expects a crippling bill from medical care so I have a bias.

It'll probably stay the same. This administration is very aware of these issues and I doubt they'll intervene. Private practice is already available to anyone who wants it, no questions asked.

It's a step. Vs. medicines too expensive to buy, and doctors that you can't see for months who run you through the mill to get their numbers up. I can't say which is worse when the result is about the same. At least you have more of a chance now.

No country has enough medicine, doctors, or hospitals.

What's important to note is that these placed aren't going back on it because it doesn't work. They are going back on it because of back room deals made with corporate insurance lobbyists and their bought politicians. Profit is always the driving force for privatization.

Yes it's what's happening here in Canada and it's sickening. But it looks like it's better to blame the left for no reason, so why vote for them? Better keep slowly dismantling everything we collectively built instead!

Public healthcare costs a lot of money

True. But private healthcare costs even more.

A step in the right direction. Thank you for sharing the realism on a clickbait title.

It was free for workers and a few administrations ago they implemented a free for all program that was mostly cancelled. They system was also divided by private workers and government workers with different quality of services , this tries to implement all services into one, hopefully it works but this administration has not been very good at the implementation phase of any project

They'd probably still beat you up. And then shoot you.

Americans are already going there for cheaper health care. My dentist recommended some expensive work, and when I told him it cost too much, HE suggested I go to Mexico, and get it done for a third the cost.

It isn't too late to finish learning Spanish :)
