Fuzzy M asked:


I am a 30-year-old US citizen who has been living outside the US. I have end-stage colon cancer, and I suspect no normal health insurance provider will ensure me because my pre-existing condition means I am not so much a risk at this point as a definite cost.

I want to go home and visit my friends and family (just for a few weeks), but if something should happen and I need medical attention, I’m afraid my life savings will be drained by a single surgery. Is there any kind of temporary high-risk insurance or government program you know of that I might qualify for? My health insurance in this country will not extend to the US, and I think the travel medical insurance in this country is only available to citizens of this country (though I will look into that).

Thanks in advance.
