Health care is a human right, not a “commodity or a privilege,” Dr. Julio Frenk, a former health secretary of Mexico, said Wednesday at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health.
“It is unethical to limit health care on the basis of migratory activity,” he said.
People without health insurance – among them Mexican immigrants in Arizona – should not be denied medical care, he said.
Border regions such as Arizona’s with Mexico “are areas of cultural conflict,” just as they are along geographic borders everywhere, as globalization pushes people into closer contact.”*
