Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a landmark decree to establish a Universal Health Service, initiating a process to ensure all 120 million citizens can access any public medical institution. The first phase begins April 13 with the rollout of a new Universal Health Credential, starting with citizens aged 85 and older. This unified digital and physical platform aims to eventually streamline care across facilities like the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), and IMSS-Bienestar.

Meanwhile, bOtH pArTiEs can somehow manage to squeeze enough money out of the budget to support Israel…

Which has universal healthcare.

Not for Palestinians.

And there's your hang-up. The US is perfectly fine sending billions of dollars to a select group of socio-economic elites to subsidize their campaign of territory expansion. They have no interest in extending social services or public amenities to the subjects of that colonial expansion.

That goes for the US interior as much as the foreign satraps.
