Even Mexico provides universal healthcare.

Why do we put up with bullshit from the Rethugs????

1. Yeah, have you ever been to a Mexican public hospital?

2. Better than nothing.

20 million will have less than that after ACA repeal.

3. The link you provided says this in the 1st sentence:

"Healthcare in Mexico is ... available to those who can afford it."

Since so many people in Mexico are poor, that means many people, possibly a majority, have no access to professional medical care.

I have 2 aunts in Guadalajara - Mexico's 2nd largest city - and both have paid healthcare as a result of having retired from public service (one a teacher, the other a public university employee). Their experience this year is that the public hospitals are so crowded, it's not worth going unless you are going to die otherwise. When I was there last December there were street demonstrations about the chronic, serious under-funding of the medical system.

In other words - Mexico has anything but universal healthcare.

4. At least they are attempting it.

We seem bent on going the opposite direction.

Interesting article.

5. OK, you win. Mexico provides the world's finest

healthcare to everyone in the country, on demand, for free. Always have and always will.

6. Never said that. Better to try than not to try at all.

Don't you think?
