Mexico has a public health system which covers everybody who works, and their relatives (children, spouse, etc.). The worker pays a small fee every 2 weeks. A friend of mine who has it, makes about $2000 USD a month and pays $11 every 2 weeks, and him, his kids and wife are covered.
Single mothers, unemployed mothers and all children under 18 are covered as well.
It is not the best health care system on the planet, but it gets the job done, and if you don't have it, or don't want to use it, you can go to a private doctor.

So, why can Mexico (a 3rd world country with a tremendous corruption problem) have a public health system that works, and the Obama administration is having such a hard time setting something up?
