51k upvotes. Front page news. You can just say something is free and the smartest, most astute progressive political minds eat it up.





Wait, some comments from people that actually live in Mexico...

quote:

Im Mexican, There was always free health care but in recent years it has worsened a lot.


quote:

Mexican here, live and been Living my whole life here, this post is a lie, many people die from the poor conditions of the public hospitals, many prefer to pay for private hospitals. Recently the doctors in Mexico started to protest because the cuts and the low money they are gave to operate.


quote:

It is striking how people from outside the country believe this is a milestone in Mexico’s history and an example for the world. Free healthcare systems for the Mexican population have always existed—both under the current administration and previous ones—yet they never cover every medical condition or health issue. The worst part is that, under the current government, even though services are free, there is never any medication available; and if you need to see a specialist—for instance, a gastroenterologist—you have to wait months to receive care.


quote:

Lol possibly the worst example of universal health Care on the planet. If this is what you want in america, I can tell why Republicans fight against it. Mexico's healthcare system is a complete fricking circus, anyone with any money to their name goes to a private medical facility

Kind of mind bending when you think about how many Americans without healthcare go to Mexico and pay for their medical services and medications.

My brother fell in love with Mexican healthcare 50 years ago.
Lived there for many years, but returned to the US eventually.
All he talked about was retiring to Mexico.
About 3 years ago he retired there.

He died last year, in a Mexican hospital, from an undiagnosed, untreated and unattended bleeding ulcer that bled out IN THE FUKKIN HOSPITAL. No blood was given, no drugs.
Pretty goddam awful.

"Nothing is free."
"You get what you pay for."
Two old axioms that most people don't really seem to understand.

I've been to a private hospital in Mexico and it's as nice as here or Asia. But their clinics? Yikes.
I think there needs to be a medium. Like maybe have a system of inexpensive urgent cares and maybe free PPP visits. But I don't think the euro model would work here.
I've dealt with for profit and non profit medical clinics and every though my oop is more i prefer for profit.

Free healthcare is a guise for population control. Suckers

I always wondered what the reaction would be if in a single payer monopsony doctors and nurses formed unions and went on strike if they didn’t agreed with what the government was paying.


Because leftists love unions and all.

Mexico has far less red tape to fight through. Went to Cancun and realized that I forgot to bring a prescription medication that I take daily. No big deal, went to the nearest pharmacy and picked up what I needed. No prescription and no questions.

Mexico obviously hasn't looked at Canada to see how much free health care will cost them and the citizens who can't obtain timely appointments and find primary care physicians or dentists.

Does that mean if an American enters Mexico illegally the American will get free healthcare? What about housing or welfare checks?

America would be a lot better if pharmaceuticals weren’t controlled as much and deregulated. It’s bonkers states decriminalize meth but you have to go get a script for pharmaceuticals.

When I think "Mexico", the very first thing that always pops up is great healthcare.

Insufficient water filtration is always a distant second....

MEXICO JUST WENT UNIVERSAL. 120 MILLION CITIZENS NOW GET FREE HEALTHCARE - NO PREMIUMS, NO COPAYS, NO REQUIREMENTS.


So are we having to open the gates to let the illegals back through?

That's what I was thinking. We should bee seeing millions trying to cross back into Mexico, including Americans.

YOu can always tell a thread is being gastroturfed or entirely manipulated when the top comments are a simple as possible (but sound witty) and those same posters almost always have well above 100,000 karma.

Its like clockwork

Plain and simple, Mexico does not have the economy to pay for this When the entire thing collapses, Mexicans will revolt. Mexican healthcare has been, is, and always will be shitty. You will die in a Mexican hospital.
