btw Mexico doesn't have a single payer system
but rather has a system fairly similar to our own
i'm about four years late on this, but ime, this is misleading. it's true that mexico doesn't have a single payer system, but i don't think it's all that much like ours. they have a variety of public hospitals and medical services (state, federal, ones for various professional organizations and unions, mothers/children, etc) and then they also have a lot of private hospitals and doctors that (afaik) don't get any public money in any way.
other than the part about having a lot of different organizations providing semi-duplicative services, i kinda like the model for the u.s.
I totally get where you're coming from regarding Mexico's health system and its complexities. Having had some personal experience in both countries, I do feel the U.S. system, particularly Medicaid, offers a bit more clarity and structure. For instance, the way it's structured around income makes it a bit more predictable.
I'm currently insured through Covering Central Florida, and the conditions they offered suit my needs perfectly. I pay about $400/month, which feels quite reasonable compared to other options I've looked into. The cost can vary depending on your income, so you can read about
Florida Medicaid income limits to understand the criteria better.
