health care in Mexico

I have tried to do research on Mexican health insurance, and as I understand, there are聽 changes coming. That includes the most popular type of insurances offered to Ex-pats. Some ex-pats are being denied. Does anyone have any experience with this?
.
Also, I tried to research preexisting conditions, because they make you ineligible in for the insurance. But the only page I found was in Spanish.

One more! I read about the insurance deductibles. I know that you pay a decidable聽 that is determined by the聽 diagnosis, but they'e so high.

Thanks for the response ahead of time.

Hi Katie,

I assume you are referring to INSABE, IMSS, & / or Seguro Popular.

All are public health plans, which are different from private health insurance.

Currently, and in general, many public health hospitals in Mexico are experiencing shortages of medications & doctor specialists.

Limitations based on pre-existing conditions also exist.

Thanks,

INSABI replaced the Seguro Popular. It is a disaster. No coverage for 3rd. tier medical diagnosis and treatments and the patient pays now, before Seguro Popular paid, no operating rules or proceedures to follow and it is greatly聽 underfunded.
