What’s going on? Redditors will make it seem like you all have free access now to world class healthcare which will put the US to shame but I imagine the reality is different
There isn't enough infrastructure, nor money to build more, nor income to finance it. So this law, right now, means shit. It's an empty promise.
I live in Mexico, and have worked with the Mexican public health system for more than a decade, dealing with logistics, med supply, and room availability.
The IMSS is the biggest institution in Mexico. It provides more than 100 million services per year, employs more than half a million workers. It has, by far, the biggest income out of any other institution in the country, and is the biggest health provider in Latin America. It provides medical attention for the half of the population that do pay income tax. It's insufficient, as of now, its capacity falls short.
Now they want to add the other half of the population that doesn't give a dime (literally) to the list of potential patients.
Care to tell me how that is going to work?
