- We want to provide health care for all illegal aliens.
- We won't deport or prosecute anyone who crosses the border.
- We must fight
Global WarmingClimate Change. - Mexicans come and go across our border at will.
- All that traveling creates excess carbon dioxide.
Clearly, the only solution is to invade Mexico and bring the healthcare to them.
Actually, that got me wondering - what is the health care situation in Mexico?
ReplyDeleteIt turns out that they have had universal basic health care since 2012:

It sounds like it covers basic and catastrophic health care, and I expect that it is probably fairly minimal since they still have over half of their health-care expenditures paid either by private insurance or out-of-pocket.

While the Mexican health-care system clearly isn't exceptional, it does exist and it sounds like it is priced pretty reasonably. I don't see where "getting free health care" is much of an incentive for people with no money in Mexico to sneak into the US.
I don't have any first-hand reports on health care in Mexico, but I do know that coming to the US any time anything went wrong was really popular with my home-school group member's relatives from that side. So it might be free, and worth every penny.
