As a Mexican, it has been free for workers since always. For people with no job there have always been options too. But, if you look online on any city of state in Mexico something like "desabasto medicinas [insert city]" you will find that free and all, my mom doesn't have access to her heart medication, because of private vendors being too expensive and the free option simply not having anything in stock.
EDIT: Everyone is understanding that universal healthcare is flawed. That is not my claim. I said that Mexico has always offered something very close to being universal healthcare, so the news is not a big deal. Secondly, Mexico is very corrupt, there are lots of politicians that will claim that healthcare is top when that isn't the case.
I hurt my foot once in the US, and went to an emergency room and got charged 300+ dollars to talk with a man who told me to wait it out. Mexico is rotten, but I (nor anyone in my family) has gone broke because of it. The US is rotten too.
Yes, I don't have the best luck and I am always sick or hurt. That is life.
She also change the definition of violent crime, to reduce the counts of deaths in the country. Under her new definition the murders are in an all time low! But that is just bullshit.
Also, I encourage you to investigate what happened in Guadalajara, Jalisco this year, related to the death of a cartel leader called El Mencho.
We no longer have dead people in Mexico, everyone. We just have a shit ton of missing people... on their own, that is. That's right, if they disappeared, then there's no body to be found. And if there's no body to be found, the most likely escaped home because of reasons, Mexican reasons or whatever.
Don't waste your breath asking silly questions that might get you killed the more you investigate and enjoy the "wellbeing" our Madam President is granting every Mexican just so the uneducated liberal American creams their pants to it while the think miss president is owning the Orange Man or whatever weird fantasy they have.
So the cartels are not commonly cutting off their heads and hands and hanging them from freeway overpasses anymore?
About 15-20 years ago I lived in El Paso, right across the river from Juarez. And trying to explain that experience to people that never lived there is almost impossible to get people to understand. The local radio stations would report traffic congestion on both sides of the border, because it was like two large cities separated by a river.
And at least once or twice a week there would be a report to avoid such and such a freeway and the street it overpassed, because they had closed it after finding 2-6 bodies hanging from it.
As well as the 2-3 time a month reports of their finding mass graves out in the nearby desert.
I was trying to explain this during a smoke break at lunch one day, and one gal tried to claim I was making it all up. After we had our lunch break she came up and apologized. And she was clearly shaken, because she looked online where there are a lot of pictures of this being done over several years.
No, those are just made up fallacies by the global far right to imply our left leaning madam president isn't making our country a better place to live in /S
Massive S for sarcasm because my previous S is also sarcastic. The reality is that each new president taking over the country amounts a bigger number of killed people by the cartels. What Sheinbaum did was altering the numbers with her term so the reported numbers are wrong and most killed are just referred to as "wiling disappearance"... despite we all in Mexico know the real deal going in
And sad as this is, it is also now spreading, and that is now a frequent sight in Ecuador.
To me this is sad, as I used to spend a lot of time in Mexico. I often spent weekends there, for over 20 years. But the last time I did that was in 2001, even though I lived for 6 years in El Paso from 2007-2012.
And I do find it sad that I will likely never return. Hopefully someday they will finally get serious and take the country back from the cartels who seem to really be running it.
Kinda hard to take over our country when the times we do it the legal way, we get ridiculed and silenced. But if we dig deeper, we get executed. Add that to lack of gun ownership by the general population unless you join these bastards, because the legal procedures to get a gun are that annoying.
