Healthcare in Mexico has been free and public for decades. There are still paid private practices and having social security limits the public providers you can use but Article 77 Bis-1 of the General Health Law states that anyone without social security can be treated for free. That article was first published in 2002 and last modified in 2023. This is just the administration claiming that they enacted (excellent) old laws.
It was free for workers and a few administrations ago they implemented a free for all program that was mostly cancelled. They system was also divided by private workers and government workers with different quality of services , this tries to implement all services into one, hopefully it works but this administration has not been very good at the implementation phase of any project
I think it’s important to point out that this was for the formalized workers, not for all the actual workers. As all this decades past, less and less workers were recipients of social benefits, including healthcare. Work informality became an ally of cheap parallel healthcare systems as it became the new normal. This is not enacting dead laws only, the president is trying to fix the loophole between formalized workers and actual workers by truly universalizing healthcare to everyone, worker or not.

yeah it’s funny they come with some bs everytime and forget about it later
remember those stands outside of hospitals that were supposed to supply meds? or that ‘mega’ pharmacy?
“without social security can be treated”
I read that as without social media and had to back the truck up after a couple seconds lol
