Hard to say, but that would likely be the only feasible avenue for someone with medical needs. I did see some HMO plans for $700 - $800 / mo. for the 2 of us, but we are approximately 20 years younger and not interested in changing providers or driving 20+ miles if we need a hospital. Technically, while their age will be a significant factor, I don't think the medical history is supposed to affect rates but that may not apply to someone moving to the U.S. or of a typical Medicare age, but not eligible for Medicare. Not really sure. Other than asking if we smoke(d) I haven't really seen any previous health care questions in the forms / applications I have completed.
