 I doubt you are the same age as she was and have the same pre existing medical issues.

Hello Friends!

 

Does anyone know how a health insurance works for the parents brought to the USA by a US Citizen? My brother, a US Citizen, has started the process of bringing our parents to the USA for a family reunion. Our only worry is the medical service. Is buying a health insurance the only way for them to get a medical care in America? If so, what health insurance is the best in this case? If some of you have an experience of bringing your parents to the USA for a family reunion, and you were able to find the best way to manage how to provide them with a medical care in America, please, share your information.

 

Thank you all in advance!

Cost of insurance on Medicare is minor compared to prescriptions  - actual for one over $600/mo; that was cheaper than the $700/mo or $1000/mo for the preferred replacement.

I hate to think how much the US cost would have been for my Parents. Assuming this is a visit make sure they bring enough to see them through.

I’d note that what seems to be a critical point in the “affordable” here, the tax subsidy, is proposed to become a public charge (which it isn’t at the moment), so it’s very unclear if this is a long term solution. And obviously in general the older people get, the higher their medical expenses get. At least OP’s family is investigating before the parents land, not after like a number of other posters we see.
