I’m not sure this would be a bad thing. Designed by insurance companies, geez....isn’t that how our present plans are designed, and aren’t people getting coverage through those insurance companies, and doesn’t someone have to pay those insurance companies for the coverage? What would it hurt if Mexicans were buying insurance from our insurance companies? They have traditionally done a pretty good job for us. It’s lawsuits and mandated coverages people don’t care about that are drive costs up, and cost shifting from those without coverage to those who have it. But, if Mexicans are covered, those costs won’t be shifted to you and me anymore.
I met someone who years ago tried to sell insurance to the Mexican Government, he said it wouldn’t work because all the bosses wanted their mordida or cut of the action, thus raising prices to untolerable levels.
