Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.

The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

On April 7, 2026, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a decree establishing the Universal Health Service, aiming to provide free healthcare for 120 million citizens by 2027. The initiative merges Mexico’s main public health networks (IMSS, ISSSTE, IMSS-Bienestar), allowing citizens to access any public facility regardless of enrollment status.

Key Details of Sheinbaum’s Universal Health
Service:

Implementation & Registration: Registration for the Universal Health Credential begins on April 13, 2026, prioritizing citizens aged 85 and older.

Unified Services: The plan merges IMSS, ISSSTE, and IMSS-Bienestar networks.

Timeline: Shared services begin in January 2027, with full operational integration expected before the end of her term in 2030.

National ID Integration: The health credential will eventually function as a national ID starting in 2027.

Digital Access: A mobile application will provide users with access to their medical records and lab results.

Drug Distribution: The plan ensures the purchasing and distribution of necessary medication.

This initiative is part of a broader push to strengthen public services during her administration.

1. So as our Northern and Southern neighbors advance into a better future...

we are modeling a long ago "Golden Age" where few had everything and the rest lived in servitude and/or harsh conditions with little recourse and at least one out of three children died.

7. This came out over 100 years ago. It's always been shit for most Americans

"Pie in the Sky" is often used as an idiom for an unlikely dream, but it is most famously known as a song/poem by activist and songwriter Joe Hill, titled "The Preacher and the Slave" (1911).

"You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die."

3. The title talks about Universal Health Care in Mexico.

Would be nice to see references (links) to that since it is in the title.

11. Thank you!

4. 85 years and older

is not "all Mexican citizens".

Still no mention of when Phase 2 kicks in and includes people 84 and younger

How many "phases" are there?

[druidity33]

12. Um, full integration by 2030...

i think it's appropriate they start with the group that likely has health issues first.



I take that back. In the FIRST sentence above, "

13. It can be difficult to read past headlines

but more often than not, it's worth it.

5. They should add a surcharge for all Americans using their medical, dental and prescription facilities

IDs required. Real IDs. And passports. 💯

6. USA is surrounded by socialism on both sides

who will Trump invade next? Probably Cuba since he likes punching down.

9. Let's count em......

There's 1 country north of us with free healthcare. Now there's another one to the south of us. Count em.
That's 2 countries that offer it's citizens free healthcare. Both border the US, the richest country in the WORLD!!! The other borders are water.

Yet we still won't cover healthcare for all of the US citizens?
It's a wonder at all, why some people still want to even come here. To make matters worse, Trump has purposely removed healthcare and food for the less fortunate. Some say it's so Trump can pay and play for his illegal war. It's sickening. I still can't figure out how he is getting by with his lies and BS.

I sure hope that Healthcare for all will be on the next ballot. It's huge this time around. More now than ever.
