Health/Life Coach

Meanwhile in America, we're told universal healthcare is impossible. Too expensive. A pipe dream.

But while Republicans are gutting Medicaid and slashing healthcare for millions of Americans, Mexico just took a historic step in the opposite direction.

Their president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has announced a sweeping new universal healthcare system that will give all 130 million Mexican citizens free access to care — at any public health institution, for any condition — regardless of what insurance they have or which system they're enrolled in.

Every single one. No premiums. No networks. No "is this doctor in my plan?" No medical debt.

Enrollment is already underway. By 2027, it won't matter which system you're in — you'll be able to get emergency care, cancer treatment, heart attack and stroke care, obstetric services, vaccines, and basic consultations anywhere in the public network. Chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension come online by 2028.

For years, Mexico's public health system was fragmented — if you were in one network, you couldn't get care at a hospital in another. The new system wipes that away with a universal health ID card that gives everyone access to the full network.

It's not perfect, and the challenges are real. But at a time when the US government is using our tax dollars to destroy healthcare infrastructure abroad while dismantling it at home, it's worth paying attention to what's happening just across the border.

This is what governing for people — not corporations — looks like.

THANK YOU, President Sheinbaum!

A+ parenting right here:

A single mom’s "old-school" parenting lesson is earning her massive praise online after she shared how she handled a situation with her 11-year-old son. Samm Jane explained that she discovered her son had been sending horrible, bullying text messages to a girl.

Samm immediately took his phone and read the exchange. “This poor girl... He’s only sent her the most harsh message that you could send to any female,” the mom said, explaining that her son had called the girl “fat” and “ugly.”

She was, in her own words, “livid, I was fuming.” She decided on the spot that a simple grounding wasn't enough to teach the lesson.

Samm’s next move is what's drawing so much attention. She immediately decided her son needed to apologize in person, but he claimed he didn't know where the girl lived.

“Asked him where she lives. ‘I don’t know,’ Well, then go fking find out,” the mom recalled.

She then "dragged" her son to the store to buy chocolates and flowers, found the girl's address, and marched him to the door. Her son's apology wasn't just for the girl, either. “I not only made him apologize to the girl but made him apologize to her mum and her dad,” Samm said. “I made it clear that he would never speak to a female like that again.” Learn more about her story below.
