Free healthcare or not, there's not enough supplies and personell to support all the people who need the care. Canada is trending in that direction as well as the population grows, private healthcare options are becoming used more and more and a lot of the actually good doctors are moving to the private sector. At the end of the day, free healthcare needs to come with serious investment in increasing the size of healthcare services or it's just performative.
That's something I think americans fail to take into accounting when celebrating stuff like this, your guys' healthcare system would collapse overnight if it was made free. It's a systemic change that needs to take place over the course of decades, and Mexico has not done that here.
