Mexico: Bienestar wellness cards at Mexican consulates

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17 

PROGRAM #10931 12:00 PM PT 

Mexico Edition. 

In an interview, Rocío Mejía, national director of Financiera para el Bienestar, shares that with over 100,000 already in circulation, the distribution of Bienestar wellness cards at Mexican consulates across the United States has far exceeded expectations. These cards allow Mexican emigres to access financial services, contribute to IMSS health insurance, and send money home free of U.S. taxes and protected from ICE-related arrests. In other news, we take a look at the winners of the “México Canta” binational youth talent competition. In a musical landscape dominated by corridos tumbados that often glorify violence and drugs, this contest invited young voices to sing about love and peace.

Guest: Rocío Mejía, General Director, Financiera para el Bienestar, Mexico City.
