non-us citizen, needs medical insurance

[mardie_phil]

Hi! I just want to ask you, is it possible for me to buy medical insurance here in U.S, because I'm planning to have gastric bypass here. I'm residing in Philippines, but sometimes I spend my vacation here in U.S during our summer break. Thank you for your time in this matter.

You can buy the insurance here but it will NOT cover your gastric bypass. It will be considered as pre-existing condition and no plan from any company covers that for visitors to USA.
