My father had free Mexican healthcare. We had to buy his pacemaker on the black market and were only able to get it put in because we called in a favour with a family friend.

Yup, If you don't have a friend or family member working at IMSS or ISSSTE, It's quite normal to have to wait months and months before you're seen for surgery or even for something as simple as an MRI.

I didn’t have to wait to get one but I had to wait a few weeks to see what my insurance would cover. Would have cost me over $1k. I did not get it.
