Mexico will implement free, universal healthcare access starting next year, as decreed by President Claudia Sheinbaum. This policy aims to repair a fragmented health system that has hindered access, especially for poorer and rural populations. The initiative begins with citizens aged 85 and older registering for IDs to access care on April 13, with broader integration aimed for January 2027. Since taking office in 2024, Sheinbaum has focused on reversing neoliberal policies, pledging to build 1.8 million homes, reduce the workweek, and raise the minimum wage while attracting foreign investment.
