Near-universal Mexican Healthcare Coverage Results From Science-informed Changes
ananyo writes about improvement to Mexico's healthcare system. From the article: "A revamp of Mexico's beleaguered health-care system is proving to be a runaway success and offers a model for other nations seeking to reform their own systems, according to a review published this week in The Lancet (abstract). The key to the scheme's success is the way in which it has modified its reforms in response to scientific assessments of their effectiveness, the authors say. Launched in a law in 2003, the Mexican scheme was designed to sort out widespread inefficiencies and inconsistencies in the country's health-care system. Some 50 million Mexicans — nearly half the country's population — who previously were not covered by health insurance are now enrolled, leading the scheme's architects to claim that the country has near-universal health-care coverage. As well as the increased coverage, the scheme has seen the number of conditions treated under Mexican public health insurance nearly quintuple. Admittedly, the former health minister Julio Frenk, now dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, is a co-author on the paper."

Will there be any death panels?
I don't know about you, but that's already where *I* go. Avoid that nasty border tariff. Plus, they aren't that funky blue color down there, like they are around Albuquerque.
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells by the seashore.
Because that's what it sounds like to me! Death Panels! Because I want the right to have a homeopathic doctor (Excuse me, I mean "doctor" -- you can call them that if you use the quotes!) to treat my prostate cancer and if you don't let me, it's because of Death Panels!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Because Reagan signed that law into being in the 80's.
But no, all these socialist systems that have come before Obama were just not tried *properly* now were they? They didn't have a leader as *smart* as Obama to implement them, *this* time they will get it right I'm sure.
It is better to not post and be thought a troll than to post and prove it.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
Until the Mexican government builds a massive electrified fence all the way across the northern border to stop impoverished US immigrants from stealing their jobs.
Word of mouth?
