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).

Let's see, generic Terzosina 5mg, 30 tablets, EIGHT HUNDRED PESOS. That's seventy dollars. But then I have to pay Hacienda TEN DOLLARS IN TAX. Now go to Wal-Mart and see where NINETY DOSES of this medicine costs TEN DOLLARS with NO tax.
Junk food crazed Mexicanos are to blame for much of the diabetic damage Moishe. A syringe in one hand, fried pig fat and coca cola in the other. The indigena culture cannot tolerate a western diet, at all. A tremendous percentage of Mexicans are lactose intolerant as well. Classic indigenous diet frailties. The doctors yell "Don't eat this! Don't eat that!" and the folks ignore them. Incredible sensitivity to the perception that "they are not adequate" and are excluded from the rewards of "The Good Life".
If somehow Lake Texcoco could exact revenge and swallow Mexico City maybe just maybe a one in a million chance could happen - for Mexico to embrace manufacturing items for health care, not the machines, no one can beat Chinese subsidies, but the test strips could be made here. The governor just gave the community a new Ford ambulance with De-fibrillator but the Chofer could just as soon flap his arms and fly as he could wield that machine. Fito is afraid of it.
IMSS, and ISSSTE doctors have to do their residency at a Periferico which means clinic.
And if you should EVER need strong analgesic opioid medication for pain, you is S O O L in Mexico. The strongest pain medication available with or without an Rx is a weak codeine tylenol three dollar a pill excuse. By the name of Tylex. Snap an arm? Snap your neck? Get a dislocated shoulder? Hahahahahahahahaha better get used to pain amigo or go see the guy with the AK47 for some Mexican black tar to suck on. Only five hundred dollar a day private hospitals dispense thirty dollar per injection opioids.
