Health plan proposed for Mexican migrants

The health ministers from Mexico and the U.S. are negotiating a possible cross-border health plan for Mexican migrants currently in the U.S. Though the final plan must be approved by Congress, Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova is optimistic that it would be beneficial:

“‘We started discussing this topic, which obviously depends in large measure on the evolution of immigration reform. But at any rate it is a binational issue that interests us both.’”

Though Cordova did not reveal how much the plan would cost, he did note that it would help migrants that suffer from chronic ailments and serious injuries.
