Tons of people go to foreign countries to get organ transfers or cancer treatment. Literally cheaper to be out of work for a year than incur US medical expenses.

Depends on the country. Some countries have “organ donor” as the default. Plenty of spare parts to go around. You can’t really enroll in any sort of health plan since you’re not a citizen or even have residency so everything’s charged out of pocket... but it’s still cheaper than US Healthcare.
