Prepare Yourself For 16% Tax Added Onto Food And Medicine
The PRI got their way, and IVA the 16% National Sales Tax has been added to FOOD and MEDICINE. I have already noticed some price increases in other industries (mostly tourist oriented).

Two winters ago my wife had a heavy object drop on here foot, we were in Troncones, we went to the hospital in Zihuatenejo. We had to wait quite a while to be seen in the emergency room. People were lined up outside and sitting in cars could not find a place to park for about 10 minutes. When we were finally admitted we entered an office by the emergency room. My wife was a little concerned. Blood on the bed and floor, sheet was dirty. The doctor finally came in and I told him the problem he glanced at her foot and sent us for an x-ray. Now we were taken down a hall and to another section of hospital which appeared to be under construction. What we saw of the rest of hospital had us feeling sad for the people there.
X-ray negative and Dr. told her to elevate and ice. Gave us a RX and off we went. If I remember all of that cost less than $200 pesos
I hope that we never have to depend on a hospital like that anywhere in the world again. Now that being said I have also seen some great hospitals in Mexico. I have had family that live in Mexico use them. But if you believe Mexico's health care system is better than the U.S. of A I want to smoke some of your stuff!
