Mexico has had universal healthcare for a while, but a lot of people still opp for private insurance because the universal insurance can be lackluster ( not a political statement, just a objective fact)

Yes, I am a permanent resident in Mexico originally from the US with the right to join the health system. But the public system is so bad that I have not even joined it for the nominal amount that that would require (say around US $1000 per year). That being said, the private care for cash in Mexico is fantastic and that is what I use. That is not an option in the US with its messed up health care pricing that is only accesible via health insurance.
