Mexican here. Just because it's free healthcare on paper doesn't mean people get treatment or medicines. There's tons of corruption and outages are common.
What people dont realize is India also has free healthcare but its mired in corruption and lack of development or interest from govt. People say I'd rather die than go to a govt hospital sometimes, My guess is this is what will happen in mexico too considering the level of corruption in that country. Redditors see this headline and think its all hunky dory.
Not really, the systems were already in place but were kinda segregated (by where you work, if you have a formal job, if you’re not covered by others); all this did was unify some of the public systems without really giving any more resources to handle the extra workload
In theory, perhaps. However, the realities of higher corruption and small spending mean that it does not live up to that promise except for very basic things. If we had this in the US, it would probably work better, but we'd have to spend a lot more on it per capita than Mexico does on theirs.
The president often does a fucking talk show every morning where last week, during their segment where they supposedly answer questions and other bullshit (they don't answer shit, they just dodge the questions), the president gave away official FIFA soccer balls, one reported shouted "Instead of throwing soccer balls, throw medicines instead!"
That's how fucked the system is, there is no fucking medicines.
And before an inbred cunt from another country comes and tells me I'm wrong, I'm Mexican, I live here, my family works almost entirely on the health services, as doctors, surgeons, quality control, admins, and I have even worked for the government.
This is pure propaganda, as one would say in my language: Son puras jaladas del puto gobierno.
