Anyone moving permanently to the UK would be covered by the NHS from day one.

Isn't it a little rude for non-USA citizens to come to the USA then
expect the people of the USA to pay for their health insurance?

But if they are coming from a country where the government provides the health care, and many more social programs, it is what they have been raised to expect.
So I (USC btw) have no problem with the question.

Re: Question about health insurance for parents
I haven't read the whole thread but if at least one of your parents could work full-time, then one or both may be able to get health insurance through employment.
