Affordable Care Act (2010)

The Ley de Atención Médica Asequible, or the Affordable Medical Care Law, was a landmark policy enacted in 2010 that aimed to provide comprehensive and accessible healthcare services to the Mexican population. This policy was a significant step towards ensuring that all citizens had access to quality medical care, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location. The law established a set of principles and guidelines for the provision of healthcare services, including the promotion of preventive care, the development of a network of healthcare providers, and the establishment of a system for financing and reimbursing healthcare services. The Ley de Atención Médica Asequible also introduced several key reforms to the Mexican healthcare system, including the creation of a new healthcare insurance system, the establishment of a national healthcare authority, and the implementation of a set of quality standards for healthcare services. The policy also aimed to reduce healthcare inequalities by increasing access to healthcare services for marginalized and vulnerable populations, such as indigenous communities and those living in poverty. Overall, the Ley de Atención Médica Asequible was a major step towards improving the health and well-being of the Mexican population, and its impact is still being felt today.
