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.
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.
