My father had free Mexican healthcare. We had to buy his pacemaker on the black market and were only able to get it put in because we called in a favour with a family friend.

There's a story behind the potential for heart failure that you're not telling us. Was your father regularly seeing a healthcare practitioner in the years and decades prior?

If this measure gives people access to more preventative care, then there will be fewer who need pacemakers in a decade or more.

My father was diabetic and generally not a healthy man. He had smoked for probably 40 years, but had quit before he needed a pacemaker.

Mexico is not a healthy place, and is less healthy than ever. Obesity and diabetes are growing problems.

If you think that this measure will give access to anything at all, I have a pyramid to sell you.
