They’ll need that wall for all the Americans heading to Mexico for healthcare.

Mexico already has “universal healthcare.” The public hospitals are so bad and chaotic that most people who can afford to pay private insurance so they can go to private hospitals. The article doesn't state explicitly, but I guess this new decree changes the qualifying rules. For example, that even if you have private insurance, you can still access public healthcare facilities. I don't see how this is going to work unless they also improve the resources to the public facilities.
