Sr: silversand.
I have not forgoten, I was going to meet with my friend on Friday but he spent 9 hours in the Naval hospital on a open heart surgery, will see him on Tuesday and grill him on this "law", from what I have been able to gather it was a presidential action and the congres went with it, it seems it is still under debate or something like that but the IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social) got the order to go ahead and institute this policy.
The government is also contemplating this tipe of coverage for the migrants after a little one month old girl died from an infection, all because they where walking from town to town and afraid of the authorities, so now migrants who fall hill will be assisted.
So visiting gringos and canucks you are all migrants!----- Right?
Jocking aside, from what I understand the free medicine is only applied at the IMSS hospitals not at private clinics or hospitals to all Mexican citizens and resident foreighners who are 65 years and older.
In any case I will have more information next week and report my findings.
