Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a landmark decree to establish a Universal Health Service, initiating a process to ensure all 120 million citizens can access any public medical institution. The first phase begins April 13 with the rollout of a new Universal Health Credential, starting with citizens aged 85 and older. This unified digital and physical platform aims to eventually streamline care across facilities like the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), and IMSS-Bienestar.

Ah, so the border wall was to keep the Americans in all along

This might genuinely lead to US involvement. Increased quality of life will lead to a reduction in cheap labor and increased cost to manufacture. Mexico has served as a pseudo-slave class for the US for ages, and as their economy transitions, major economic waves in the US will tear entire industries up.

I’m excited for Mexico. Hope this helps make the world a better place for all and that no one fucks this up for them

That's what happened to most of us in latin america after our growing development and independence from late 1990s to mid 2010s, when the usa increased the interference in our elections and brought a wave of far-right movements we're still dealing with.

Of course they can afford that, they are not off starting unnecessary wars.
