If you are saying "Mexicans are not proud of their Spanish heritage"....The ones I know are very proud "Spaniards still act like colonist", ...I am sure some do because they were...But the observation is too sweeping and general...Like all Mexicans hate Gringos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 In Vancouver, where I am from, I met almost exclusively fair skinned Mexicans. I was working for an architect couple, making antique stone reproductions and molds. All the Mexicans who visited them were fair skinned, and very wealthy. I got the impression that they immigrated to Vancouver for the future of their children. That back in Mexico, especially in CDMX, there was not only the real possibility of kidnapping, but also like a glass ceiling, that their kids would never break through in their careers, especially in politics. Of course free medical coverage and free education was another bonus. But they had to pay their taxes, just like everyone else. Is it true in Mexico that almost all the major "Eurostyle" resort hotels are managed by Spaniards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there such a thing as "Free Medical" coverage, in Canada or say the UK....if you paying taxes there is a BIG line item for medical services, period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Greenwood Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 In the US depending on your income in many states it is not easy to qualify for Obama care ..the affordable care act …if not health insurance begins around $ 400 per month with deductibles..and very often can be double that or much more for a comprehensive plan . …Big line taxation for health care as you call it in Canada or the the UK is minimal in comparison .

There is Goods and Services tax, just like in Mexico on most things you buy, but I'm not sure what taxes the medical system is funded out of. The main thing is you don't lose your house or die on the steps of the hospital in Canada because you can't afford medical care or necessary medications.

With respect medical affordable and " lose your house" is a different issue to "free" medical services. There are no "free " services" any place, the funding comes from " taxation"... period I am wrong to say that if you are on Medicaid and you go to an emergency hospital they are obligated to treat.you regardless if you can pay?
