Mexican president Felipe Calderón had a message for Americans: Check out Mexico's health care system.

In a joint appearance with President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Calderón held up Mexico's health care system as a possible model if the Supreme Court strikes down the Affordable Care Act.

“Full, free health care coverage for all people up to 18 years of age,” Calderón said Tuesday, via a translator, about his country's system. “I would hope that one of the greatest countries in the world could follow our example

if it is so perfect, why do so many of Mexico’s people come over the border for our medical care?

And then you will work for the government and you will get food and and a shack. Then you save for ten years and buy a 20 year old car....and go on vacation....to the other side of the island.

Well that settles it for me.

I am tired of the leaders of that sh!thole country called Mexico coming up here an giving us advice.

If it such a workers utopia why are tens of millions of its citizens living here?

Idi Obama: Oh No! Kagan called and said Obamacare is DOA!

Quick! Invite Mexico and Canada to appear with me to tell how wonderful socialized medicine is in their countries!

Emperor Flopsweat strikes again!

The illegals who go to our free clinics say Mexican health care stinks. Maybe we should follow Mexico’s illegal immigrant policy instead? Zero tolerance.

We’d be better off following Mexico’s example on southern border security and immigration law.

So, Calderon believes in the ninth month of gestation, our pregnant women should swim the Colorado river, cross the Sonoran desert or gather in Brownsville to cross the border and give birth in Mexico? Anchor babies, away!

Pres Calderon,

We bow to your superior system and will immediately start buying return bus tickets for any illegal mexican in this country seeking medical treatment

meanwhile if any US citizens sneak into Mexico be sure they get the treatment offered by your superior system

there are just so many things wrong with what this clown said, I don’t know where to begin.
So, we should dump our lower classes into Mexico, create a state sponsored “anchor baby” system sending citizens to Mexico to have children that will automatically get free stuff?

Oh no, that’s right.. you have no rights in Mexico where outsiders can’t get healthcare for free..

The left in America say we have a “class system” where people of color and the indigenous are left out... Mexico is the textbook example of a modern caste system where the dark skinned and indigenous underclass are herded into cities and encouraged to go work in another country because the lighter skinned of European descent want nothing to do with them.

Does he mean we should send our people to another country illegaly so they can steal the money away from them to pay for healthcare at home?
