And that sounds great...

Mexico has a system very similar to Denmark (even the past president said Mexico's system was better), yet it sucks. Why do you think that is?

And look, don't get me wrong...I am not poo-pooing what you are saying. You guys have a great system in Denmark, one of the better ones in the world, and I know this because of the dumb declarations from the previous Mexican president about IMSS being better than the Danish system, and what ensued in the Mexican media. But when it comes to healthcare, Denmark is a completely different ecosystem, for many reasons, and it is not just the profit aspect of it.

I don’t know much about the Mexican healthcare system, so I can’t make direct comparisons. However, one key aspect of the Danish system is its transparency. Everything is above board, with patients fully informed about their treatments, and the departments paying the bills having full visibility into the processes.
Additionally, under-the-table payments are nearly impossible in Denmark. Most monetary transactions are electronic, and if someone tries to deposit more than $1,000 in cash at a bank, the bank is legally required to ask about the source of the money. This is part of strict laws designed to combat "dark money" and ensure financial accountability.
