Mexico developed health care breakthroughs during the 1970's when petroleum prices were so high globally, so that's when their baby-boomer generation emerged.

Certainly, you will name these health care breadkthroughs and correlate them with their baby-boomers emergence.

Mexicans flocked to the borders when factories were built after NAFTA. It was easy for them to cross the borders since we have virtually no border security. At that point in time I can remember seeing Tyson Food ads in the local newspaper advertising for workers saying you don't have to speak English. The jobs were for Arkansas, Alabama and other poultry producing states.The newspaper was only 9 miles from Mexico.

We have poured billions into Mexico trying to make them into something that they are not. Naturally, we have a huge trade deficit with them. We Americans don't have a clue as to how much tax dollars have been given to Mexico to make NAFTA look good. Every time Condi Rice goes to Mexico she takes a handful of millions to just give away.

Reformers in Mexico????????V. Fox. Don't make me laugh. Mexico is a socialist country and will remain so.

Quite frankly, I could care less who wins the election in Mexico.

Well, I don't advocate universal healthcare but Mexico adopted something akin to it, so infant mortality rates declined drastically.

If Mexico is socialist, what do you consider the USA? Our SOCIAL security stipends are far greater and more readily available, as is our prescription drug ENTITLEMENT. And our national debt dwarfs Mexico's, far less than our economy dwarfs Mexico's economy.

It's easier to fix Mexico than it is the USA, but once we fix Mexico it's easier to fix the USA by pointing to how the proposed reform already materialized nearby so why not here.
