Will be getting my citizenship soon and want to sponsor my parents to the US. What is the best option to get them health insurance besides paying traveler’s insurance? Traveler’s insurance I pay now when they visit is around $300 per person. Will they qualify as my dependents or be eligible for Medicare if they haven’t lived in the US before?

Has anyone started a new job right before going on maternity leave? I’m secure at my current company and know I am fortunate to have a job/have paid maternity leave on the horizon, but I am starting to get concerned the mental toll of staying at my current company is not worth it (have been feeling this way for months before I found out I was pregnant).

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
