Medical care in Mexico.

My understanding is that there are at least three levels of public health care in Mexico.

For my employees, I pay for seguro social (IMSS). That provides a level of health care services.

As a non-employee, I could choose to enrol in seguro, but my priority for service would be below that of a worker.

Non-employees may chose to enroll for seguro popular. That too is a level below seguro social.

People might choose to enroll in neither. A carpenter who,has done some work for me needs heart surgery in DF. His family is fundraising for it.

And the services of seguro ate not universally applied. Guerrero is a “have not” state. It is not as politically powerful as other places. The health care services of seguro in Zihuatanejo are not as the might be elsewhere.
