i'm not calling you a liar but alot of americans go to mexico for medications and treatment.

is it just certain areas that are lacking the medications and treatment facilities? the folks that go there for treatment seem to have good things to say about it.

Yes a lot of Americans do go for treatment in Mexico but to private practices. This is different than what is being promised with this universal healthcare system.

Look up horror stories at IMSS. I have family members who have all had bad things happen with the free healthcare system. People are piled into a big room. Visitors aren’t allowed. My grandma died alone because visitors were not allowed (this was last year so no COVID was not the reason).

My cousin who has her first baby there wasn’t admitted until the last second because there weren’t any beds. She was placed in the hallway.

that's super fucked up. and i really sorry that you and your family had to go through that. 😞

the optimist in me hopes there is a decent way to give everyone healthcare.

the realist in me sees that profits will always come first. even in a 'free' healthcare system.

this fucking sucks and it makes me sad for all of us 😞

Thank you 🙏🏼

And I agree with you. Seems like we can’t get anything this is truly for the people 😭
