AMLO Shakes Up Mexico's Medicine Cabinet
AMLO tackles meds, rogue agencies, and Gaza in morning show. From megapharm miracles to chopping bureaucracy, he promises transparency and peace, all with a dash of charm (and maybe some phone tag with pills).
Today's mañanera was a rollercoaster of fiery pronouncements, medical updates, and a dash of geopolitical commentary. President AMLO, Mexico's resident truth-teller, held court at the National Palace, and let's just say, he didn't hold back.
Medicine Makeover: First up, a victory lap for the health sector. Turns out, the past wasn't so rosy. Zoé Robledo, boss of IMSS, exposed some shady dealings – 10 companies hoarding 80% of drug spending? Not cool, amigos. But fear not, under AMLO's watch, things are changing. The biannual medicine purchase is now squeaky clean, with a focus on diverse suppliers and a 21 billion peso investment. Plus, there's a shiny new “Wellness Megapharmacy” boasting a million-plus stash of meds (with a slight glitch in the call center, but hey, teething problems, right?).
