How will this impact the medical tourism industry that Americans depend on for affordable healthcare?
You're not kidding. Some towns like Los Algodones built their entire economy around medical tourism.
I'm sure it will persist, as it primarily services Americans. And their money is still good.
If anything, we'll see the Mexican health care system expand in order to absorb all the domestic residents who can now afford the same care
Wel now it will be called Los Aldogones
That's one of the things uasians don't understand. Universal health care doesn't mean there are no private hospitals or practices. It means you have a choice, but you are covered no matter what.
Don't worry americans don't use public healthcare in Mexico, otherwise they would actually understand the struggle to get it
They just use private healthcare since it is catered to them while being cheaper compared to the US (I worked on medical tourism, all the marketing for these clinics is targeted to americans; most of them don't even bother using Spanish on their ads)
