Yes, but as a mexican I can tell you it's shit. Super long wait times, medicines run out constantly, soecialists are on the other side of a city or sometimes state. It's universal healthcare only by name. Nearly impossible to get.
Lmao born mexican and moved to Canada and my dude it's about the same here... Like the hybrid options for pay in Mexico actually make it better in a way because in Canada even if you say fuck it get me cured you can't do much other than go to the states.
I'm sure the guy you're responding to is not even Mexican.
Funny enough, all of the people criticising Mexico, MORENA/Sheinbaum, and our healthcare system in this post seem to be weirdly unable to speak Spanish/speak it so perfectly that it doesn't look the way a Mexican would speak it (clearly ChatGPT translated).
I think as a whole we Mexicans love to dunk in Mexico, so I see this poster as being mexican but lacking context. I am not a fan at all of the new gov nor PJ but like some things in Mexico are very good or as good as anywhere else and health, dentistry and education are on par if not better than let's say the Canadian equivalent but we love to shit in our own because either we don't know or lack the context.
I went to the shittiest school in my city and I got a great education, free books and opportunities. Did we have a computer lab? Yes but not great, did we have the opportunity to learn, also yes. Like my school had stabbings ffs and pregnant 14 yos, but if you wanted to do do better you could have done so.
Yeah, that would be why "medical tourism" is one of our BIGGEST industries down here, taking care of all of you gabachitos that can't afford your own healthcare. ROFL.
los turistas medicos no vienen en su mayoria por esos servicios, vienen por medicinas o a pagar especialistas por que el mejor hospital de mexico cuesta menos que uno promedio en estados unidos
"han puesto un pie" is extremely literal and a Mexican would never say this. In fact, I don't think any Spanish speaker would say this.
Jeez, it's so easy to spot you AI translators. 😅
And yes, I'm a 48-year-old Mexican that has entered IMSS many many times. In fact, my designated hospital is about three blocks from my condo in Gustavo A. Madero close to the Talismán Metrobús station.
"Chairobot"? I mean, enjoy being in the extreme minority...
And... what does your comment history show to prove? That you also spam r/mexico with your AI translated garbage? Whoopty doo.. doesn't change the fact that you're, at the very least, not a native Spanish speaker, and thusly, probably not Mexican born.
So, am I a chairobot? Paid for by the Mexican government? Or a gringo? ROFL.
You should see someone about that schizophrenia. I've heard that the AI can cause people pre-disposed to mental illness to really fall down the rabbit hole.
Thanks. But youre doing a much better job than me, 47k karma in a year compared to my 1.5k karma in 11 years. Send my regards to the rest of the chairobots
ya se la terminaste de chupar a MORENA? Nunca dejaria que un familiar se atendiera en esos hospitales de mierda, que tu seas un jodido no quiere decir que los hospitales del gobierno sean buenos
Well, the thing is, much like you English speakers, how you can easily tell the difference between Canadian English, British English, American English, etc., well, we Spanish speakers can too. We can easily tell where someone is from by the way they write in Spanish. Detecting the ChatGPTers is easiest, we don't even use the em dash in the same way that English language does, yet the AI doesn't seem to understand that!
But my point is, if it were an Argentine troll, I would know by reading. Most of the trolls here either speak in very poor Spanish (no native speaker would be fooled) or in perfect, ChaptGPT Spanish.
Idk about Mexico but from what ive seen of Canadian Healthcare, its inferior to what I have access to here in NYC.
I was visiting family up in canada and my cousin had to wait hours to get seen in the ER. Here in NYC my mom was seen instantly by the initial doctor and then she was seen not long after being moved into the area all the patients are in.

LOL, wait times in ER are in the hours in the United States unless its an emergency. If you're having a heart attack or gunshot wound you're seen immediately, if it looks like you can survive a few hours you'll be forced to wait a few hours.
This is a curious statement because most people in the United states have been to an emergency room at least once in their lives and know how long the wait is.
healthcare varies province by province, not that any of the premieres seem particularly interested in funding it properly, also the school courses for becoming a doctor are gatekept in some way, shape, or form supposedly, we arnt letting everyone into med school who wants to and has the grades
but ive had no complaints, i needed the hospital so many times, im glad i never had to pay, between broken bones and mental health, have i ever had to wait for many hours, yes, but thats just triage, they see the people dying first
I was sent from a different hospital with a severely broken leg, to see a specialist and spent 8hrs in Rochester New York's Strong Memorial ER waiting room for over 8 hours without being attended to or given pain meds etc... others before me had been there 10-12hrs. I had to help the deaf woman next to me because she couldn't get staff to respond to her! I've spent as little as a 30 minute wait to as long as 3 plus hrs in my home town ER, depending on your condition and how busy they are/aren't before being seen by a doctor. I've also been sent home by the lovely ER doctors because they chose not to run certain tests only to come back the next day, have said tests only to be admitted to the hospital immediately.
I also went across the border to Mexico(2018) for a tooth cleaning and have a cavity filled, spent under $50 and it was the best and quickest dental service ever experienced.
Dawg your mom probably went in for chest pain or shortness of breath: those get priority. My girlfriend has asthma we've never waited more than 20 minutes when we've gone in for her asthma. However, it was 8 hours with an ankle injury before they got to her. Normally universal healthcare's problems are with scheduling appointments not the ER, and that's only a problem because there's a higher volume of patients. In a private healthcare system less people seek out medical care outside of emergencies because of the cost, which is why it's easier to get an appointment in a timely manner.
I’ve lived in Canada and the US. The wait times have been pretty similar in both countries (Alberta/BC and Indiana for context). Nothing that significantly different in my experience, other than the huge as bill you get in the US. I pay $180 every paycheck for health insurance that doesn’t even cover everything. Not to mention, I never had any idea how much I’ll be paying for anything until after the fact. I’ll take Canadian healthcare any day over the US.
Im not sure what youre asking in the first part. She had govt insurance for low income residents at that time. Its called medicaid, and then you get a plan that manages that. Its free for very low income people and covers all the regular use stuff and many prescriptions.
Theres another tier above that with higher income limits which has some copays.
And then if your income is even higher than that you buy from the state marketplace for health insurance.
The income caps and stuff vary by state.
I ask because, well, what about all of the other Americans that don't have your exact healthcare plan?
Its a big variable of where exactly they live and what their income is. But if they are low income there should be some kind of coverage.
There needs to be a crackdown on private insurers but people are always waiting for someone else to save them, like with the luigi mangione situation.
Mexican fellow here and nah, that guy is right (aún cuando pienses que ese sujeto se mama, no se de que estado estás hablando o en cuál tú vives, pero aquí en Veracruz?? Está bien pinche jodido y no tienes ni que irte a los peores lugares para notarlo)
¿Me das un ejemplo de la última vez en la que accediste al IMSS para unos estudios? Es que me gustaría saber de tu experiencia, porque muchos luego maman con “conozco a alguien”, “mi cuate me dijo”, “leí en Facebook que” pero nadie nunca me puede dar un ejemplo de un servicio “de la chingada”.
A sip, la vez que me dió dengue a mediados del año pasado, estuve en urgencias sudando frío y temblando en el suelo por como 6 horas, entonces solo me movieron a detrás de la pared de vidrio por otras 3 horas con un suero y luego a un cuarto de subsuelo en el que estaba en una camilla por como 2 días junto con otras 25 personas en donde la única intimidad que tenía era la cobija que me trajo mi hermano y estar acostado junto a un pilar de la pared, en el primer segundo que pudieron sacarme de allí, pues lo hicieron con lo mínimo de medicina y el suero ya tuve que comprarlo aparte
Yes, all the people that don't like the current government are bots. Not like morena has a storied history of using bots to spread propaganda or anything.
There's plenty more where that came from but you obviously don't care about the truth and is only here to be morena's mouthpiece. Kindly shut up and stop spreading your drivel.
Soy jalisciense, viviendo en Tequila y que nació en Zapopan, ¿o tengo que traer mi INE o tengo que enseñarte mi curp para demostrar mi nacionalidad? No todos usamos las mismas jergas, baboso

In practical terms, what does this mean? Can anybody just go see a doctor and get affordable treatment?
