American citizen here. I have never really considered bringing my parents to live here permanently due to health care costs. My parents are in their 70s willing to move here if I want. What would it realistically cost to get them both good health insurance? They are both diabetic but otherwise healthy.

Thanks all for the responses so far. It seems they would have need to stay on GC for at least 5 years before qualifying for Medicare. The interim is what I am thinking about. Looks like there are no options other than Obamacare which would be pretty expensive. Anyone who is currently paying for immigrant parent's non-medicare insurance care to chime in on approx. amt?

KPMG1 - 3/4K isn’t going to cut it especially considering their age. You are looking at 800+ per person per month.

They qualify for Medicare so... not much really

Yes I know. But what I’m saying is they won’t just get it right away. Surely they could have gotten it even before if medical cost was the only concern for them not moving to the US. Meaning, anytime you’d move you could qualify once you get a GC.

Medicare won’t be available right away. You become eligible after a few years.

Healthcare in the US is higher than most of the developed world (if not all). So that is a valid point to consider

Costs and subsidies for Obamacare depends on what state you’re in.

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!
